Ok so we move to Florida just over 2 years ago.
We choose Florida for family reasons but are now looking at moving to another state.
Our property tax has tripled in 2 years and we want to move somewhere less stressed, more scenic, and a different climate instead of hot and hotter!
Hubby works self employed so job is not a problem.
We have looked at a few states such as texas and colorado.
Anyone with any suggestions on where we can look would be appreciated

The ranges are lower, and the variations larger in Texas than Florida. Doesn't really seem to confirm your assertion that "Texas is hotter than Florida". Or that you can look at the State as a whole and just dismiss it as "hot".



My whole point is that while a lot of it is, some of it isn't. You can see the ranges for yourself on those links. Personally I don't consider the Guadalupe Mountain area (49-70) to be hot - when we were there it was refreshingly cool, but "hot" is subjective and personal. Houston on the other hand is, by my reckoning, "hot" during the summer months. It's a big state, and there isn't a "one size fits all" for the climate - as I said in an earlier post, looking at cities rather than the entire state would be more representative and, to my mind, more useful.
