Welcome to the forum. If you hate winter so much why not move ? I know some folks from Alabama who are always complaining about our West Michigan winter. I tell them the same thing! Thank the Lord it's still a relatively free country we can live where we choose.
67 here today in Huntington Beach, CA. Funny, but everyone's wearing short pants flip flops and T-shirts, and freezing their butts off cuz it ain't in the 80s.
