Since we bought property here in FL and plan to move here in less than a year, we will be reverse-snowbirds. Come the summer heat and bugs here in FL, we will head north for the hottest months. I'm not sure where yet but the high 90s and low 100s doesn't appeal to us too much. what can you possibly do when it's so hot?
I hope there are places who cater to the reverse-snow birds out there with affordable rates.
Anyone else here a reverse-snowbird?
I just bought property down here too. I was most definitely going to reverse snowbird to avoid the summer heat. But life took a different turn and I had to stay put right after buying the house.
The first summer you spend in Florida you will want to just up and die it's so hot. You learn real quick to do what ever needs doing outside early in the morning.
I did not believe one word of that infamous line the local Floridians told me :
"You will get used to it"!
But guess what? You really do. Your body actually adjusts to it.
First summer is a real killer,
Second summer not so much,
and by the third one you will be running for a winter coat, hat, gloves and boots when the cool temps 'dip' to 60 degrees just like the native Floridians do! :C:W
