The northern parts of the United States get very cold in winter. It snows a lot. But the cities with large population are there, like Washington D.C. and New York.

In these years, people in these regions like to take holidays during cold winter months. They go to the southern states where it is warmer, such as Florida (佛罗里达州), Texas (德克萨斯州) and New Mexico (新墨西哥州).

It has become popular for old people to move south to these places when they retire nowadays. These people usually sell their houses in their hometown and move south to begin a new life.

The southern parts of the country are now growing faster than the other parts. Texas and Florida are growing fast, too. They may soon replace such states as New York and Pennsylvania (宾夕法尼亚州) in population.
