NudeinNorthFL said: So how do my naturist friends that love Club O tolerate being a naturist up in the northern US or Canada in the winter? I live in North FL so I can afford to run my heat at 70-72 degrees in the winter. We solved that problem by visiting...and then buying a condo at and becoming members at... Avalon Resort in the Eastern panhandle of WV about 40 minutes NW of Winchester Va. Avalon is a year-around resort that is really set up well for winter c/o use. For first time visitors, staying in one of the 18 motel-style rooms in "The Lodge" puts you in a well heated connected nudist friendly facility, starting with the dining room and main bar at one end, proceeding down the corridor between the motel style rooms on either side, then down the enclosed, heated ramp to the "Nudsino" casual bar with darts, a pool table, and five slot machines on the West Virginia State Lottery network. Passing the Nudsino, you enter the aquatic center with a heated pool and two heated spas inside a greenhouse building making the most of what sun there is, and finally you come to the fitness center with a small selection of workout equipment. We go up there at least once or twice a month all winter long...more often in the warmer and hotter months. ...and that's how WE survive winter! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Now that's a challenge. Specially when your coordinates are 43° 42' N, only 23<sup>o</sup> south of the Arctic Circle. Hot tub is only 15 feet away, a mere seconds away when the temperature falls below -25C. The wallpaper on my computer shows the yellow umbrellas in front of Club O, and give off a warmth of their own. Above the monitor is a print showing the Tiko Tiko in the background and the wide sands of the beach in front of Papagayo in the foreground. The countdown calendar on the computer tells me how many days to go before I get down to SXM again. It really is quite easy.
Now what was your question?

I live in North FL so I can afford to run my heat at 70-72 degrees in the winter. We just suck it up and hunker down and pray for early spring to arrive. After throwing another log in the wood stove. Winter sucks, that's for sure, but I find hurricane season more repulsive then winter. After the winter season is over, my home is still intact, I still have my belongings and I'm still alive...There's a price to pay regardless of where one lives. My retirement plan is to spend my winters in Florida, and when hurricane season arrives head back north. With this plan I don't have to deal with winter or hurricane season.

Many places up north have tornadoes, so it's kind of a trade off. We live in the very center of Florida and there were some hurricanes that came through here in 2004, but in general, hurricanes are not really a big problem here. And most of the damage here in 2004 was from spin-off tornadoes from the hurricane, not from the hurricane itself. If you live on the coast, you are on the water, yes, but insurance is very difficult and expensive to get and there is always a hurricane risk, yes. But we are extremely happy that we moved to Florida, from a weather standpoint.
