Last time I went to Florida was a December to get away from the cold.
When I got there, there was an ice storm. All the interstates were
closed, hotels were all filled up, and I slept in my (cold) car.
Haven't gone back and that was 15 years ago.

Two brothers I know _drove_ from Fairbanks, Alaska to spend Christmas
with their parents in Jacksonville, Florida. On the day they arrived
in Jacksonville the temperature was 12 F. The high that same day in
Fairbanks was 20 F.
