I just moved to Dallas area of Texas last August. My two daughters live down south. They told me years ago, that I might as well sell my Ohio home and move down south, because they were NEVER moving back to Ohio.
Although I sometimes miss my fenced in backyard when I'm walking my dog, I have to admit that I love my Texas winter. One day, my low temperature was the high temperature back in Ohio. There was no wind so it didn't feel brutally cold. By the afternoon, I was walking my dog in my short sleeves!
Peace and blessings
