While friends in northern parts of Florida may be dealing with more severe winter weather, including snowfall, residents of The Villages can take comfort in knowing that this cold snap is temporary. For instance, walking home at 9:00 pm in 42ºF rain might evoke memories of northern states like Pennsylvania, but such conditions are short-lived here.
For those feeling the chill, consider organizing indoor activities or gatherings with neighbors to pass the time until warmer weather returns. Remember, this brief winter will soon give way to the pleasant climate that makes The Villages a desirable place to live.
