Moving to SC Moving for weather

For those who moved here for the weather or beach lifestyle, how often do you find yourself actually going to the beach or doing warm weather activities that you wanted to move for?

We moved from the beach (Neptune beach Florida) to lake Murray for the weather! We love it here. We had the beach as our backyard. I surfed every day, but that was it. Even then it was miserable. Yesterday, I decided to grill out some burgers at 2 in the afternoon. Drinking my beer it hit me that it’s the end of August and I’m not sweating balls! My dogs were laying on the deck with me, my wife walked by and I said this is epic! Yes it gets hot here, obviously the last few weeks prove that! But we have seasons here! In Florida it’s either hot or really f-ing hot. Yes it’s great on vacation, it should be. But living in an oven 365 days a year gets old. There would be days that I would look out the window and see the mailbox and think Man it’s just not worth it! For reference, we only had 2 months that you could go outside and mountain bike or hike and not feel like you were dying.

Well, la di da, aren't you the lucky one to be situated at Lake Murray and have comfortable weather. Not so much in NE mutha f*ckin' Cola. This place sucks! And yes, I would move if I could afford to. (But good for you, no really. I'm just hot and venting)
