I don't know that the climate is the primary driver for that though. I'm thinking it has more to do with taxes and had more to do with cost of living. My mom and stepdad got their condo by the bay in St. Pete in 2011 for 70K in a short sale. It's now worth around 300K and was worth even more a couple years ago.
Yeah that's cool visiting in winter like I said. Idk about doing the parks in July. That sounds rough...I haven't been to the parks since I was kid in the early 2000s. Nice, looking forward to more comfortable weather when I get home Tuesday.
I'm in southeast St. Petersburg right on the bay. You have ass crack sweat just trying to walk at night. I've never longed for a desert climate (so long as it's not far south) as much as I have the last 10 days.
It's too hot the sun is too strong here even in January. Dews creep up to 77 or so at night here by Tampa Bay. Idk, I don't get the appeal of living here. It's fine to visit in winter or late fall early spring but other than that? No thanks.
Hell yeah man, thank you. Appreciate your hard work. Look at that radar loop for December 2000. That's a sexy storm and a rare distribution these days with west beating east.
