Small world, travelnutz. We were at Fanning Springs both yesterday (to ride bikes) and the day before to visit the State Park.
We live in western NY nestled nicely below Lake Ontario and a little east if Lake Erie. This location is beautiful but the dampness from the lakes does make for bitter cold up home.
The big difference I see, is when the sun comes out it warms up and I have yet to worry about black ice or ANY ice for that matter.
We will most likely start heading home in early April - depending on the weather back home.
