Mike! you are missing all the fun things of winter up north. Like cars sliding into each other on the interstates and salt all over your nice car, A new snowfall, and more of the above all over again, and again, and again. But , seriously, stay down there, you dont want to come back up to the frozen north. Check my avatar to the left. Thats me trying not to fall on my butt while getting my pic taken! All ice. I fell five times this winter. I think I cracked the concrete patio the one time. Anyone want to sell a pair of ice grippers for shoes?
