One projection for a polar shift I saw was a 40 degree shift and put the equator just below New York. That would put Arkansas just south of the equator and that would be fine for me.

Hot and humid is easier for me to get used to than cold and dry. I set up at an outdoor fleamarket every weekend and many years the summer temps exceed 90 degrees and all I need is a good fan blowing to get through the day. In the winter with 20 degree temps and north winds of 20mph there is nothing I can do to stay warm. Even going home won't warm me up in the winter. Been doing the fleamarket for 25 years now and love it but low temps make it difficult. Guess I am getting old.
