February is the month for love and romance as well as one of the busiest times for tourism in South East Florida. It's understandable since the average daily temperature reaches 70 degrees Fahrenheit and it is a popular destination for a break from the blistering cold up north. Many visitors fall in love with the area and ultimately buy a home.

The excitement of the first winter snow has long faded, but there's still a month to go before spring begins. The Valentine month marks the home stretch. It is the last schlep through snow-filled sidewalks and wind chills that make us want to stay in under the covers.
