ARE THERE ANY SNOWBIRDS ANYMORE?

[daily_double]

Any where???

[pawatt]

I think they all moved to this Facebook group: Snowbirds / AKA Winter Texans Rio Grande Valley Texas. 57 posts today and 716 the past 28 days.

The RV parks in Arizona are full of out of state license plates this time of year.
Arizona is a really bad state to spend any time in. All these snow birds should realize this and spend their winters in TX or FL - much nicer in those states. 😉

You are absolutely right. And where did they come from?? Yup, you guessed it.

Only about 35% of Floridians are native Floridians. About 1.6 million 'Floridians' were born in New York (that's about 8% of Florida's total population) . . . helps explain a large part of the problem :C

If they're from NYC they may got their first DL in the sunshine state.

That's entirely possible . . . a bit scary, but possible.

Started getting the Sprinter organized for our annual 6 weeks on the Florida gulf. Being from Massachusetts I don’t need to practice poor driving skills, they just come naturally.

No. I'm now a rain bird. Sold the wet house and moved to a dry house.

My belief is it's the inconsistent mix of drivers:
- Regular Floridians
- Immigrants
- Snowbirds
- Tourists

Each has a different driving style and it results in a bad mash up of traffic.

To the original question: 2 yrs ago we did a loop of the south and parks were empty. Last 2 winters, we were able to get out of the country for the winter.

We have them here --- plenty of 'em!! Would it be OK to send some of them your way? :C

OP is from Oklahoma I see.
OK is probably not ok in the winter!
PS, we're heading for Quartzsite shortly.

Frankly I don't care which way we send em' --- usually not too bad once you get used to the congestion on our roads, but I only wish they'd leave their driving habits back where they spend the rest of the year.

The fairgrounds in Tucson where I work is usually full of snowbirds this time of year but currently it's maybe half full.

Thirteen years south in the fall north in the spring. Down in South Louisiana presently.
