Personally, I find it easier to keep warm than to stay cool. Also, I have asthma, which is really well controlled with Singulair and Symbicort plus pseudophedrine when I’m exposed to allergens; cold air isn’t a problem, but I think could take a triple dose of those three plus 4-5 puffs of albuterol during hot, humid weather, and I would still have a feeling of tightness in my chest.

I’m not a big fan of winter overall - partially the lack of daylight, partially because it just isn’t possible to do all of the outdoor activities I enjoy during the frozen times. But I could never see myself doing the typical retirement move to a Sunbelt location. Here, there are about 3 months of the worst of winter, and typically only a few opressively hot days each summet. I just couldn’t see myself trading that for up to six months trapped in air conditioned spaces, with a few better months in the winter.
