Truth is, I've never lived anywhere that didn't have four seasons (okay, in Greenland, north of the Arctic Circle, some of the seasons were more notional than others; and no one I knew went swimming in Lake Ferguson in July in less than a full body rubber suit) but it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to try it out for myself, at least a little bit before deciding.
My mom, who had a lifelong dislike of winter and, more especially, snow, headed South many years ago. If anyone earned the sun, it was Mom and it warms my heart to know she enjoyed it for the remainder of her days.
We've had a cold but relatively snow-free winter so far (and I'm not complaining about the dearth of the latter. I have another unfavorite four-letter word that starts with S and ends with T that also describes snow) and there may be a not inconsiderable amount still in the forecast.

I just had a memory of a daytime AM station we listened to as kids when my parents had a vacation house in Pennsylvania, WARM, the Mighty 590. No matter how bitter the winter weather, you could always rely on the Ronnie Radio-Voice announcer to pass along the time and temperature in 'DEgrees' while demanding to know 'Is it cold enough for you? It's only WARM for me!'
Talk about the greatest little station in the nation, not.
