If you could take your pick, where would you spend your winter (in the lower 48)? Preferably a place with good live music and car, tractor, and motorcycle shows.


Thanks,
Glenn F.
 
You haven't lived until you spend an evening fishing in an ice house, sitting next to a wood stove with a nice hot fire, out in the middle of a lake on top of three feet of ice.
 
(quoted from post at 22:34:32 12/20/14) You haven't lived until you spend an evening fishing in an ice house, sitting next to a wood stove with a nice hot fire, out in the middle of a lake on top of three feet of ice.

I'll second that.
 
Texas hill country! Not totally "warm" but the cold doesn't hang around long. Lots of music, back roads to explore.

Snowbirds come to AZ in droves. If they can't find anything else to do, they jam up the aisle in the big stores, especially Costco. Locals kind of wish that they would stay where they came from.

During the summer, there are only a few ducks that stay here in the small lakes. Now the 'winter visitor" ducks are here in flocks. They settle into the small lakes and act like tame ducks and aren't afraid of people at all.
 
Good question that I've thought about for years. Az air is SOOOOOO dry my sinuses bleed. Florida has way too much humitity, mold, my sinuses won't stop running.

So post back when you find a warm place that has about 50% humidity, no mold, mildew, no pollen.

I've been to both Az and Florida. They have been removed from my bucket list.
 
For you few miles south of TerreHaute Ind. Inside on bad days with adjusted heat and humidity. Helps if that pretty lady of yours fixes your favoret beverage sometimes. Visit heated shop as desired to keep your body flexable and that inquisitive mind of yours thinking.
 
Right where I'm sitting. Cold weather keeps all the stinkin' tourists back in the Rotten Apple where they belong. Might feel differently about it a few years down the road when it starts getting really difficult to cut firewood, though.
 
Bill, are you a follower of WC Fields? You spend half your money on women and drinks. The other half you waste.

I'm not as old as you. I can still handle the cold and the snow much better than the heat and humidity. My pole barn is solar heated. No insulation, yet if the sun is out, inside it's 10-14 degrees warmer just because the sun hitting the roof and siding.

You have lived in other places. Is Indiana still the best?

Like you say az and new mex are too dry. I do not like dry heat. The winters in the south of those places get hot for me. The place I liked the best was western Montana. Eastern Montana is like Kansas only a lot colder. Western Montana has winter temperatures not a lot different than here.However the humidity is much lower. As too the ideal place in winter I would have to say the hill country of texas is great.
 
Lois and I have been very fortunate that the USA has allowed us to visit Arizona in the winter. "FLORENCE AZ". We do not take the privilege of visiting your Nation lightly.
Thank you
Bob & Lois
 
Kissimee Fla. during Feb. Eight huge equipment auctions you can attend in your shirt sleeves. Be prepared to take a tractor home with you.
 
You would not get me out on a lake for that even if it was 6' of ice or sollid to the bottom of the lake.
 
My Grabdpa and my dad wintered in Brownsville, Tx.

My time, expecially around the hollidays, with my kids and grandkids is worth more than living away from them in a retirement village just so I can be in a warmer winter spot. I actually like the snow.
