Yes, we have shorter days in the summer down here (gets dark earlier, too), but longer days in winter. In December you'll get nearly 2 hours more daylight than I did in Salt Lake - about the same latitude as where you were, I think.

East coast gets more hurricane problems than we do, too - knock on wood. In '04 and '05 when we had 9 hurricanes make landfall in Florida, Sarasota county was one of only 4 counties in the whole state not to sustain any major damage. There are 68 counties in FL. Great that we got such a lot of rain from Beryl without much damage!
