Besides south Fla, Where is it warm???
South Florida is looking good, temp wise. WHere else in the lower 48 is it 75+? Or a reasonable facsimile....

Actually I find weather historical statistics very important to understanding what kind of weather to expect.
The temperature trend he mentioned is typical of all desert areas. They cool off rapidly as the sun reaches a point about an hour before sundown.
That makes desert areas much better in the summer than damp areas which heavy vegetation in the summer. Because you get cool nights, rather than suffering with heat and humidity when never get better at night.
But everyone has to remember that historical temps are averages. Every place in this country can get freezing weather if the conditions are right. True southern FL is least likely to have it - and if freezing weather occurs - it will not last as long there as anyplace else.
As I've said - it all depends upon your goal.
My personal goal is to avoid freezing temps if possible. We got into a camp hosting position in Nov and Dec, which was colder than historical averages this year. We had four days/ nights down to 19 degrees. We only had three days when the temps did not get above freezing. Some ice and some snow.
I was very happy with my 'entry level' TT staying in the low-mid 70s internal temps all the time. I was prepared for cold weather and never had any problems keeping the water flowing. Never worried about my tanks and water lines.
We were outside every day. Actually we have been healthier this winter than when we were living in the S&B where we wouldn't go out.
But, we are moving farther south for next winter.
It all depends upon what a person want. Frankly, I would not want to be somewhere where I had to run the AC in the winter.
