There are several similarities between New York and Florida. Both are in the same time zone and border the Atlantic Ocean. Both have a diverse population and are historic settling places for persons wishing to start a new life in the United States. Both are exposed to inclement weather. And there are many people who reside in both regions - many New Yorkers visit Florida as snowbirds during the frigid winter months in the northeast. When November approaches, there's nothing like going from subzero Buffalo temperatures to sunny Daytona beaches!
