(23,082 posts)FL does have a winter, especially north and central FL. This year in No. FL. we had 3 days of hard freeze, first in a very long time but it happened. We turn our air conditioner off in late Oct. and it comes on again in March. Yes, it's basically summer here from April - mid Oct. and the air conditioners are on. But hey, that's tons better than when I was young and we had no air conditioning at all - that was a nightmare!!! We were lower middle class and dad was very, very cheap. We didn't get air conditioning until I was 16 and doc wouldn't release mom from the hospital until dad put in the air conditioning. Hospital was more expensive, and dad did want mom to be comfortable, so he finally installed 2 room units. Heaven to us poor kids.
