The Population is dwindling

Talked to my Iowa neighbor yesterday. He said I still have three feet of snow in my front yard and it hasn't been melting very fast. I planned on leaving the valley March 28. I don't think it is going to happen now. I don't have to be home until April 16 for a Dr. appointment. I'm sure I'll stay another week.

Don't be in any hurry to come home to mid-Michigan! We live smack dab in the center of the state (well, just left of center of the mitt...) and we literally have 2+ feet of snow on the level in our yard. The pikes along the driveway...about 3-4 ft tall. It has gone down 1/3 the past week or so from wind and some sun (very little sun) ...mostly just evaporating.
Believe me.....take your time!!.

Our park is still full, most are from Michigan, Ohio, New York and New England.
No one seems to be in a hurry to leave, even some that are due to leave April 1st are asking to extend.
Those up north say the snow pack is deep and will be a very slow melt this year.
We are due to leave May 1st but we're only going up to St. George Island. Then we're going over to Savannah, it will be a very slow trek north this year.

The diehard Snowbirds in Florida will stay until April 30 and then they are outta dodge as fast as they can.

Florida flips a switch on May 1. And you can set your watch by it. It truly is a phenomenon!

Temps go from comfortable 80's to unbearable not fit for human life 90's and soo humid you can't breath!

As it was my experience the first time I stayed here past May 1st into the summer.:C

We plan on pulling out 4/3 from south FL don't have to be up north till 5/1. We'll enjoy a blooming spring as we mosey along.

But if the snow birds take their time going back north soon it will be warm there, I say in about 2 weeks it will be in the 50's to 60's up north, just you wait and see..

Same here. I don't understand it. It has been a cold winter( MS gulf shore) even here in the south and everyone that snowbirds is in a big yank to get back home. Why they don't relax and enjoy a little sunshine and let it get to spring up north, we don't understand. We are here until the end of April and then head north for a summer volunteer position.

Its called the INS kickin us in the keester to get out. :)

We have been here in central Florida since December. We are loathe to go back home to Delaware next week, but have unexpected business to take care of. A lot of folks from Ontario departed this past week, but they were all going reluctantly and for different reasons. We are all looking forward to coming back next winter and staying longer, and we most definitely will!

It is still cold up here neighbor. Stay south!!!!

Hope they're not heading to Michigan - winter is NOT over in these parts. My thermometer said ZERO this AM for the umpteenth time this year.....
