Besides south Fla, Where is it warm???

Bravo Sher !!! You got my vote !!!

We're in Cortez, Fl and there is no other place I'd rather be.
This is an unusual winter for everyone but seriously would anyone rather be up north where it's been below freezing most of the winter, then it snows for days on end, then it warms up and rains then it freezes...really? SB be damned.

I will gladly take the mid 60's on some days, 40's at night for a few hours, which I'm sleeping anyway then have it go up to 74 to 78 degrees and we head to the beach.

We don't head inside when the sun goes down and the temp drops, we get the campfires going and party with the neighbors...some people on here just sound so darn old maybe they should just stay up north in front of their fires.

Seriously, the more active you are the less the cooler weather affects you.

Well, after due consideration, we've decided that when we leave Florida on Feb 1st, we will head to Seminole State Park north of Tallahassee in Ga for 5 days (for some free camping nights we have) then start to head back west to Tucson, Quartzite, Parker, Lake Havasu, then Sedona and back to Santa Fe. We have about three months to make that journey. We'll make stops on the Casino Coast, New Orleans, and most likely San Antontio.

That should get us into warmer climes.

But a lot of us enjoy having the cool nights with low humidity. Makes for great sleeping.

That's why those that put so much weight on statistics are way off base. Until you experience it, you have no clue.

Just because two places have a high of 75 doesn't make them equal other then maybe on paper.

temps drop like a rock starting at sunset, and end up going lower.

Yup, that's what is different about Florida versus the rest of the states. Up in Wisconsin when they say it going to be x degrees? The minute that sun sets that's when it hits that low temp and if the skies are clear in continues to plummet.

My first night in Florida where they predicted freezing temps I got busy bundling up the MH and covered windows vents etc making sure I had it all done before sunset just like I would do up North.

Only to find out that in Florida the temps drop for only 2 hours or so 'before' sunrise! :S

So on the night they predicted freezing temps I was then sitting in a MH that was too warm inside all sealed in for the "so-called" predicted freezing temps that was not going to happen until 6 in the morning.:R

Besides South FL.....

Here in Casa Grande, AZ it's been in the low to mid 70's but there is a change coming...

Sunday will be pushing 80 and we'll start hearing some a/c's coming on-line...we'll just keep going to the pools.

Yuma AZ has the warmest yearly average temperature in the continental USA.

But it's not the warmest in the winter. South Florida is 7-10 degrees warmer in Jan.

And the average low of 47 for Yuma in Jan is 17 degrees colder than Key West.

Shows just how biased the weather maps are ....... Had maybe 7 days of cool weather here in Yuma and then back to normal, mid to high 70°s with a light breeze.
