flordia snow birds heading north

Spring break in the south is March and the north is April for high schools and colleges. Some of those replacement rv's are families on spring break.

Snowbirds headed home from Arizona also. Will be a lot more since we are getting in the 80s and a record today of 91.

Ft. Chiswell and got snow today. Most of that area got a bunch, but the temps are suppose to warm up by Saturday, March 24 it should be gone.
we here in Mt. Airy got maybe an inch, but never did cover the roads. most of it is gone now, it is 11AM local time.

Not surprising. We have spent overnights there, at the beginning and end of the migration, where it was just as cold as home, five hundred miles north. Great place for a quick easy night on the road, though.

We'll be running I77 up to Ft Chiswell on Saturday as we're slowly making our way north for our spring visit to our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Hopefully the snow will all melt before we get there. I'd really hate to have to shovel out our site!

Traveled from Fort Myers to here today and saw more MH & TT going South than North... Go Figure!
We're in a holding pattern letting this last Nor Easterner get out of the way.
Can wait to see the Grand kids and Grand Dog.

See above picture for reason why.

I'm more facinated by the fact that some parks seem to watch their long term guests leave, yet for the next few weeks the park stays relatively full, since they are replaced by other birds who are just passing through. Some I've talked to are really looking for the perfect weather. They might of found a region far too cold for their liking in Jan, and Feb, but are happy to spend a week or two of their season there, in March or even the first half of April. Seems like a cool way to migrate, to me.

No way are we leaving paradise now when we can go out in 77 degree water in a natural Jacuzzi in the middle of the mangroves with a natural sand bottom and a crystal clear tide flowing through.
Maybe April 18 if we feel like it.

We just left a small park on the west coast of FL. It was full all winter, and currently about 85-90% full. One interesting thing to watch is those birds that "crawl" north, and only go a few hours north, then stay a few days, or a week, in a new park.
