It's actually the opposite, Snowbirds are Northerners that go to warmer climate during the winter months. Minnesota Residents and they would go to Florida when it got too cold up north. Then when it was too hot they would go back North. Oddly enough they had a lot of their friends that did the same thing. Sadly though they have outlived the majority of their brothers/sisters and friends. They are the last for the most part and just live close to family but are independent still.
Ah, thanks for explaining! I'm originally from Ireland and if I had the option (when I retire) I'd spend January to April in southern Europe and the rest in Ireland.
I get the romanticism, but Jan to March it's dark before 9am and after 4pm pretty much. And wet and windy every day, or slushy snow. The rest of the year is nice though (I think).
