You have to get active.
Navy Seals put guys in freezing water for 15 minutes and then have them do a lot of activity to warm-up.
I remember playing in single digits and getting hot and sweaty.
Its amazing how hot people can get in very cold weather
Worst thing to do when cold and froze is to just do nothing
Example: I have lived in the NE for 73 years and love NJ. Did I explore retiring to Florida 10 years ago ? We certainly did. I have never disliked hot or colder climates. I also love Wyoming, Montana and Arizona a combo of several temperature variations … once my grand kids came along it gave us a reason to stay. So travel to those warmer climates does satisfy our urge for hot weather …Tougher in both as we get older. I can always though find a fan ,AC, shady tree or mall to get cool. In the winter no matter what … sometimes keeping warm is more of a challenge for this old circulatory systems and my bones . You learn to adjust. So if weather is the issue… stay in NJ , enjoy a moderate climate and perhaps some chance to love seasonal changes.
Same here but not as long but the wife and I had discussed moving to a warmer climate- but the first grandchild comes and that gets thrown out the window.
And so much easier and convenient to cool off in hot weather than to warm up in cold- I'm not sure just how much time people if the southern states spend out in the 95% weather if not in the water. Most of the time- AC in the house/shopping/dinner/car etc.
During winter here- even though we also have heat- you just cant walk outside with the same clothes you have on all day long- and then you have the shoveling of snow- the danger of driving etc- and we have 3 months rather than 6 months of the same 90/90 type weather anyway.
It can't be that robust, about 500 to a 1000 made it to the Temple game and this was when they were ranked.I think Miami will have a much stronger showing than some around here think. Their NYC alumni club appears to be active and fairly large:
New York ’Canes | ’Canes Communities | University of Miami
Welcome to the home page for the New York 'Canes! The New York 'Canes are proud of having an active 'Canes Community that participates in a variety of activities throughout the year.www.alumni.miami.edu
That’s a good point with grandkids and wanting to be around them
I get super depressed in the winter. Cold, grey, damp. If i were retired here, I honestly would not know what to do with myself
I feel in a warm weather climate, besides the sun and warmth cheering me up, there’s always something going on
The downside is May - September. No getting around it, the heat is constant
Ideally, having 2 places is the trick. If that’s not in the cards, dealing w the heat during those 5 months will be made easier with a pool, water sports, and attending baseball / softball games
Guy with over 110,000 posts on an internet message board says someone else has "no life." You just can't make this stuff up!
EDIT: Hey @yesrutgers01 and @mildone, I read your replies and think you might want to review this thread. I didn't interact with this guy at all before he started attacking me (also called me an "idiot" and "loser" in different ones). Not only are personal attacks against the forum rules, but him claiming someone else has "no life" while he posts 110,000+ times on a message board is the height of hypocrisy.
EDIT 2: @AreYouNUTS painting himself as some sort of victim is hilarious, as is the old boys club rallying to his defense. Anyone with two eyes can read this thread (or the others where he -- unprovoked -- called me an "idiot" and a "loser") and see that he came here to launch personal attacks. He's still doing it as we speak. If Mr. Nuts doesn't want to be called out for his hypocrisy and homerism, he should stop insulting others and breaking the rules.

Do you consider Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine the north? They have active tetirement communities
[/QUOTE]
I do
Let me rephrase this
Many more people retire down south, and retire up north
Weather, cost of living, taxes, nicer people, more laid-back lifestyle, etc. all play a role
Great points about grandkids - hopefully in the not too distant future for us and fortunately our son and his GF both love this area.
However, we have nowhere near 3 months of 90/90 - we might get 10-20 days of Florida style heat/humidity in the summer. For example, NYC averages 15 days at or above 90F in a summer and not all of those days have oppressive humidity like almost every friggin' day in Florida does from about mid-April through mid-October (6-7 months of it). And no seasons at all would kill me - I love every season and the changing seasons.
He has had only 1 profile for all of those posts and a large % of people on this board have either met him or spoken to him- and agree with him or not- as big of a fan and supporter as you will find and does a ton of things organizing events for board members- So, while you are correct that Rutgers does take a good chunk of his life- it is spent well and rewarding to many people as opposed to just making up new profiles.

I know a number of people that have retired up there- different type of lifestyle.
And I don't know how the heck they do it but they seem to just love 2 ft of snow by Thanksgiving
Irony = an internet troll accusing others of having no life.

I think you'd really have to like active outdoor living and not mind the cold and clouds
I watch Life Below Zero, that's extreme as they're in Alaska, but it reminds me of a New England in a sense in the winter
Dude....EVERYONE knows who you are....you "modus operandi" is very, very obvious. How stupid do you think Yes, Mildone and others, are?
Also, if you do the math, over the time he's been a member of this board since 2001, that equates out to 13 posts per day. Not all that time consuming as far as I'm concerned.
And, as you say, he has had only one user ID the whole time.
Oh zip it....you've been here long enough.....
Me: 100K+ posts in 20-years....30,000 of them came in a 2.5 year period when my fiance was battling, and losing her battle to, Stage 4 Breast Cancer from July 2004 to late December 2006)....SO WHAT??? You're LITERALLY the ONLY idiot who cares about this!!!
You: nearly 150-monikers in (just the last) 3-years
.....WHY can't you just enjoy these boards like the rest of us? WHY do yo feel the need to be, well, the way you are?

Was a very weak attack by him because being a member in, and contributor to, an online community can be a perfectly wonderful part of having a great life.
Ah well, nothing weaker than a weak troll attempt. It's not like he's got long before his next ban. He really needs to up his game quick. 😀
Ditto, well said. NUTS has contributed 1000X more to the RU community than that troll.
WRONG! It's 1001 times. Get your facts right, mister!
Let's be honest here: who the hell ELSE would post a completely insane poll like this??? You are THE only person in this board's history who would do so. PERIOD.
You for one are fairly active in daily life… I think so… correct? You can do so many more things after age 60 in warm weather rather than cold. Now realize people who like skiing and all the other outdoor winter sports might disagree but I gotta believe warm is probably more conducive for an active lifestyle. Most doctor’s probably tell people with certain conditions move to “ warm” weather. Keep in mind I’m still in the cold tundra of NJ… pizza, foodie Mecca and Rutgers sports.
Don't explain yourself to a troll,
nor try to reason with it.
It doesn't want to discuss ,
it only wants to aggravate
I ahear you🙃
Flying in a different direction , with a spellcheck edit, might be one way.
maybe he mistakenly meant one of your other ID's was an idiot. Myself- I would not ever just say someone like you was an idiot, loser, waste of life...As that may break board rules- I would just clearly say that when someone says and does what you do on this board- that could typically be attributed to a idiot, loser, waste of life...And if it fits- well, that would be up to you- not me.

2 ft of snow by Thanksgiving is unusual but not unheard of. The ski areas may have snow at the top (not man made) but not at the base. NH has no income tax, though property taxes are higher than the South. Nicer people and a more laid back lifestyle down south? No way. First of all, there are retirement communities located around colleges. UVM, Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Middlebury and Williams down in Mass. so a lot of residents have something in common. I'm aware that some Southern schools have that as well.
Miami will bring 1,000 fans and half of those fans will be wearing Miami gear bought at Modells and Sports Authority 20 yrs ago.

Today until a week from Friday (the 22nd) should be the big selling period. I'd imagine the 300's go on sale this week if not over the weekend/early next week. Then the 'late" push will come Tues the 26th through game day IF the weather is looking okay-to-good.
Well we're really scrambling here because @RU848789 hasn't given us a long range forecast yet for the game!
I just checked....looking good (for now)....but it IS a little too far out.Well we're really scrambling here because @RU848789 hasn't given us a long range forecast yet for the game!
doesn't matter- he will just change his ID again and his first post will quote nuts on something else. lol
This. Any thing willing to come up with nearly 150 NEW monikers, in a couple of years, isn't going to be stopped by putting it on "ignore."
Notre Dame drove that Pinstripe 2013 record crowd. We did draw very well in the 2011 Game. Temperatures in the mid-50’s certainly helped. Let’s hope we get a repeat.
