I can see why the Red Sox choose to come here for spring training… the weather is absolutely stunning! It is in the 80’s most days, and sunny. Yes, it does get chilly occasionally and, yes, it does rain occasionally, but 90% of the time it is just flat-out gorgeous.
Case in point: Sunday, February 16, 2014. We drove to downtown Fort Myers – about 10 miles away – to attend a street fair/classic car show. The weather was perfect, with cloudless skies and a light breeze. We wandered around, saw some nice old cars (and some not-so-old custom ones), had some tasty fair food (including some kettle corn) and just generally enjoyed the weather.
Hard to beat.
Meanwhile it was snowing in Massachusetts.
