I am already in the RGV (Rio Grande Valley of Texas) for the season. The few of us early birds are pretty sure the party is over for this area. Cheap will still bring a few where that matters. The dances and other social events were already slipping and this will kill most of it off. Replacement snowbird numbers were already weak. When one has to read and reread the fine print on their insurance policy, many will take the safest course and stay north. I can name six out of ten acquaintances who have already decided to remain up north this winter. Three from Canada, three from the upper Midwest. The other four are undecided. Tremendous bargains on old mobile homes and park models. RV's not so much.
