I love your optimism, but we're not out of the woods quite yet.

I don't even care about the cold, just give me a few dry sunny weekend days to get me by Nothing in our extended forecast either.

Warm weather isn't coming fast enough for me.

Left Seattle for the desert SW. Shoulda done it decades ago. Need to live closer to the equator than the north pole.

Me neither. And yet somehow I do it.

However, I have no concrete plan, but, after I retire (about 11 or 12 years from now) there is NO WAY I will be spending winter in WI. No way.

I can deal with winter better than I can deal with triple digit heat for weeks on end in the summer. I've been to Florida. You couldn't pay me enough to live there. Besides, my ex lives there.
