Just curious. If you are 60 how cold is too cold when looking to relocate and retire?

Pros and cons to everything. You'll have to decide for yourself. I could find something to like almost anywhere. I guess aging is the main factor along with good medical treatment. Then cost of living, climate and convenience. Natural disasters is another consideration
 
No-one is going to want to hear this, but if we are just talking about the weather and which state has the most temperate climate, that would be California.....

I lived in Indiana back when it was really cold in the 1970's & 1980's, I was used to bitter cold so sunshine and 32 was T-shirt weather to me. After that experience I moved to Miami and enjoyed my first winter dressed like a tourist, my body acclimated to south Florida and it never recovered. 40 years later and any temperature below 73 feels chilly to me, anything below 45 and I am really cold. What I would wear for sub zero temps back in Indiana then is what I now wear here in GA when temps drop below 40.

If you move to a warm climate, you may as well stay there.

I'm the opposite. Grew up in heat and humidity and it never bothered me. Didn't even notice/realize it. Now I go back and think, "How do you people live here?!". I can dress for cooler weather. Can only do so much for hot & humid (without getting arrested).
