flordia snow birds heading north

Us "SunBums" are heading the other way down south at the end of the month, 2 months bikin, hikin n swilin in the Red Rock country.

I think we're getting tired of snow. Skiing every day since November 1st. is getting a little old. Just have to switch snows to hwy tires, hook up the TT and the white covered mule will do the rest.

Best spring wishes from the top of Silver Star Mtn., Vernon BC.

Plus some still beat a path back for tax deadline for some reason.

I95 at Yemassee SC was blocked due to a crash all night, many vehicles exiting at Point South to take 17A to Walterboro and get back on, it was a jam with that many trying to use a 2 lane back road.

Still here in Florida for two more days. Got here November 30. Not heading straight home though. Leaving for Savannah, GA (actually Tybee Island) for about a week of more RVing there and maybe stopping by Asheville, NC too.

While leaving our Florida roost means we're heading home it's always a good time to stop over at locations we can't easily get to any other time of the year. Other years we've been to Gulf Shores, Al, Nashville, TN, and now Savannah, GA. Might even head up to Charleston, SC too. No rush.

Not all snowbirds head straight home when they leave their winter park. Many got their fill of activities, and now want to add tourist experiences to their winter via "vacationing" back north. So what you see on the highway does not mean they're not pulling off at the next exit. If you're a Florida snowbird heading north you got Georgia, the panhandle, and the Carolina's that should be beautiful right now.

Some snowbirds needs an accountant because their financials might be a little more complex then the TurboTax clan's. If you have a real good accountant, they'll pay for themselves in the long run, so free is a relative term.


We wont be back for another month even though we left our winter home park. Our Oklahoma snowbird neighbors are already back in their S&B. Of course they're enjoying the starts of spring in Oklahoma right now. Guessing the daffodils are busting through the ground right now.

As they say, one size doesn't fit all.

They haven't heard about Turbo Tax on line?

I filed mine Feb. 3rd and got a direct deposit back on Feb. 9th.

I am a Sunbird with FL. blood. I only head North the first or second week of May. :)

Don't you know? .... They need to get home to do their taxes!!

Are a lot wearing Canadian plates? They are probably leaving before the 180 day time limit runs out.

Here in the great north of Michigan we're still seeing teens at night, low 30s during the day.

I am happy to see more of the Sun lately.

Here in Northern Ontario we have had a few days of brilliant sunshine but very cold at night.

Southerners moving north? Our Northerners returning home?

The state has been completely depopulated. But they are all idiots, because another snow storm is expected Wednesday, and if they are already out of Florida, boy, are they in for a surprise!

Yep. Lately the first day of spring means six more weeks of winter.
