Besides south Fla, Where is it warm???

50f warmer than our location here this month would be 46f. 50f warmer than our February temps here would be a dismal 42f. No where near warm...not even close.

I suppose if one lived in the Mid Atlantic, 50f warmer in winter would be borderline acceptable. So, the ~70% (the rest of the snowbirds living north of the mid Atlantic states) living in the 13 coldest states in the US would be MIGHTY disappointed spending their winters in a place merely 50f warmer!

"Warm" means fifty degrees warmer than back home to most of us. After all, this is the "Snowbirds" forum.

Yuma can get pretty darned cold in Nov, Dec, Jan & Feb. Looking at the historicals, indeed Yuma will hit the low to mid 20sF on occasion at night during these months (the most recent was in 1980 & 1981). The historicals show only mid 40sF at night for Dec, Jan & Feb in Yuma. Not exacly my interpretation of "warm in winter"; but "warm winter" can be interpreted by 10 million people in 10 million different ranges!

eg. warm in winter means for me: never ever the prospect to experience lower than 55F and during the day never ever lower than 75F +. This can't ever be achieved consistently during "winter" anywhere in the Continental United States (not even Key West); one would have to winter in the Caribbean or Yucatan or far south Mexican Pacific coastal regions.

So, what do you actually mean by "warm winter" by the numbers ?

I had a great time in the Parker area of Arizona (on the Colorado River) last year. 70's during the day, mid 40's at night, and far less expensive than Florida.

A lot of folks head to Quartzsite - World's Largest RV Gathering Place.

Yuma is probably warmest in Arizona. But if you want to consistently hit some 80 degree sunny days between January and March, be somewhere south of Sarasota, Florida.

Played pickleball today in shorts - southern Arizona - 70's in future days, too. :) Sun all day - as usual.

Have you heard of the Weather Channel? I've got a great app on my phone called Weather Bug.

Yuma is in the mid 70's right now with 80° forecast for tomorrow through Monday, then back to the mid 70's for the rest of the week.
