You are smart. I have seen dead stop and snail pace traffic on 75 especially the weekend after Easter. The migration has already started and will be bad until May. I cross over 75 just north of Tampa every day and the traffic is now very heavy north bound.

Lots of construction on 75 from just north of Tampa towards Ocala. A third lane is being added and traffic was heavy and very slow at times yesterday. Lots of snowbirds beginning their spring migration.

We returned to NC last Monday. Traffic on I-75 was thick but moving well. Our neighbors came in today, said they spent three hours getting through Atlanta and they are experienced Atlanta drivers. It looked like the dead of winter when we got here last week but the daffodils and forsythia are showing color today. Also have a bunch of spring gobblers down near the creek who are telling the news. Time to clean out the hummingbird feeders. lizzie

A lot of kids heading back to school after spring break today. The traffic was pretty heavy on I-75 when we drove up from Sarasota to Ocala, but it moved along pretty well with only a few slowdowns at heavily used exits and entries. I was pleasantly surprised when we rolled through the I-4 junction at almost the speed limit though.

They should stay south. Winter is not over :(

Probably got scared of all them snakes and gators.

Spring weather is the magnet.

Yea... Left Saturday from Ft. Myers. Took us 10 hours to get over the border into GA. Normally only takes 7.

Bike Week was over today.
