Without disrespecting anyone anywhere, I'll just say that what I like about Florida in the winter compared to any of the other 'warm' states is the abundant 'greenery' - The trees, the grass, the shrubbery and flowers. Nothing compares. Also the incredible array of wildlife. I had a bear walk thru my back yard last month. There are turtles walking around and birds that are 4 feet tall (Red Headed Sand Hill Cranes), the manatee in the various springs - how long of a list do you want ? Yes we have bugs - because it never gets cold enough to kill them off !
But between the middle of October and the beginning of April, it really is heaven down here. And you can pick what kind of temps you like, from pretty doggone cool up on the northern border (might even see snow) to very temperate in the Orlando area to much warmer in the southern one-third of the state. And not to forget that one of the Keys' claims to fame is that it has never, ever been below 32 degrees.
Yes, I will complain about the summers, but never about the winters here.
I've just never seen a place like Florida. Don't forget to stop at the Visitor Center when you cross the border - gotta get that little cup of orange juice !
