Turk,
There isn't anything wrong with Florida if you move below Tampa, other wise you still will get much to much the taste of winter. As far as strawberries for those that have to have something that looks like a srawberry at times when no one has strawberries look to Florida to help out, actually we do the same with tomatoes. By coming to London this past weekend I brought so much of the normal Florida sunshine weather to Ohio that back home I missed out on the rains of 10-20 inches that Ohio sent down to Florida.
I'm speaking from experience as I was in London to see for myself. I really enjoyed the first 3 days this year in a row in Ohio with good weather.
