I don't know Tin, I too have had 52 years of seasons. I do like them and have lived elsewhere for short times in different climates.
But I think that what I would prefer is the seasons without the extended cold like you would get in southern NC and south to northern GA. Especially if you are in hilly country there such as northern GA foothills.
I am actually considering a trip down there to scope out some properties for a winter retreat in a few years. Going to try and do the semi-snowbird thing. Something small up north for the spring summers and fall and a winter thing down there. I am having some problems deciding whether to go a little warmer and closer to the coast of GA or the interior and big fresh water impoundments there and southern SC.
As a matter of fact if any of you guys know those areas I would appreciate your imput on my idea. Only thing I know for sure is I want to be on the water, sweet or salt I like both
