Luckly I love the season change since I have grown up here. Also I'd much rather deal with a snow storm than a hurricane . i would love to have alot of snow. I miss it a lot. my neighbors moved here from New Haven CT. They could not take the heating bills and so on all the time. Would be really great to have to seasons. We have not had a really good winter in a few years now. Hard to believe, but like you cats, you would love this weather,, and I look online and see the blizzards, and think I would love to have that. But this is for you cats freezing you *** off.

tony97gt Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 After shoveling 14" of snow outside my friends apartment one time and slipping and sliding everywhere walking around NYC, I've decided I'm much happier without ever seeing snow. Oh and cross country skiing in Northern Japan (Marine Corps) and sleeping in a tent in -7 degrees, I love South Fla weather. Hurricanes aren't so bad. I've been thru enough to be kind of used to it. Plus it's an excuse to have a hurricane party. Sunny beaches and year round boating and detailing, you can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckkilo3 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If it's really 95° in February, just wait for the 120° in the summer. You will be praying for some snow then. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the ocean is so warm for diving and fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony97gt Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 3 Years Iwakuni, Japan. 83-86 USMC Semper Fi 96-00 here. Was at Camp Schwab, Okinawa and went to the Northern Training area for 3 weeks of Jungle Warfare training. Then 2 weeks in Northern Japan (Bihoro) for cold weather training with the Japanese Army. Oh and a forced march up the base of Mt. Fuji with about 100lbs of gear on our backs. Forgot to mention the road was frozen, so that made it pretty interesting. Also at Camp Lejeune, Washington state, Camp Pendleton for Desert training, School of Infantry in NC, and security forces school in VA. Good times USMC!

LFairbanks Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Tony. If you feel like trading, I have some 42 degree days and 25 degree nights that I would be willing to trade. And this is warm. During January there were a couple weeks where I don't think it got above 20 degrees. I absolutely hate the snow. One day I will find my way to a place where nobody knows what a snow shovel is. Hot humid heat. Hot dry heat. I will take either one over that white stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Personally, I'd rather have 35º than 95º but that's just me. FL winters are usually amazing and I'll be on Marco Island starting on the 26th for 10 days which I've done for almost 20 years, but the summers... YOU CAN HAVE THEM!!!

tony97gt Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Summers in south Florida are awesome. Miami beach, boating, diving, fishing, key west, detailing, Atv riding. But the humidity is definitely something you have to get used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I would be more than happy to take a summer in Florida any time. Have been there in August and I personally have no issues whatsoever with the heat and humidity combination. Actually love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
