A lot of people from my region move to North Carolina. Lake Norman north of Charlotte. It’s a great area but unfortunately I am and always will be a fish out of water in the south, except south Florida which is full of transplants.

For me winter doesn’t get painful until like late January, Feb, March. By February I start thinking of heading to Miami/Naples.

I don’t like winter and moved to South Carolina looking for a more moderate climate. I have lived in the southeast, mid west and northeastern United States. I was born and raised in Miami so let’s say winter wasn’t a thing growing up. I missed the snow in SC this week because I was in Indianapolis on businesss. It didn’t snow much in Indy but it was cold. This morning as I drove to the airport it was -7F with -15F windchill. Glad to be home in SC tonight where it’s a balmy 30F. Yes, Put me in the column of “don’t like winter”

To think we are only in the second inning or so and it’s just really getting started.

It's too cold in the great lakes to even snow!!!! I haven't locked my car doors in a couple of weeks, the locks are frozen and I'm afraid if my remote battery dies, I won't be able to get in my car.
