In my small Florida experience, terrain is more interesting north and
west which is not flat like most of the peninsula.

Agreed, but those hills in northwest Florida are a long, long way from
being snow capped mountains. Florida's highest point is only about 350
feet elevation.
 
I get occasional visits from a Florida cyclist who exceeds 5000 miles
almost every year. His highest, steepest hills are the freeway
overpasses. He suffers on moderate hills around here.

 
That's from the guy who scorns anecdotes.

That Florida is flat is well a fact, Berm Peak did ride up the highest
point, which is less than London manages even few miles from the Thames and
central, and london isn’t a hilly area far from it.

Looking on Strava heat maps which does have self selecting element, Florida
does have some glow around the cities though US in general shows a much
lower temperature ie lower cycling rate.
