So...

NO! Maybe next month. We should be back by Morel Mushroom season. We are just in no hurry! Will wait till the spring weather becomes stable and the freezing temps at night go away. We only left so much firewood for spring.

Just want to mention that it's not so bad for a northern person up around the Texas/Louisiana border right now. No real need to race back to 4 feet of snow unless you're really sick of living in a small space, or picking up your foot (or maybe bending over) to flush the toilet.

Heading north slowly, kicking back along the way, seeing the sights, having some crawdad's with Cajun hot sauce, maybe even a slice of that pecan pie....now that is my idea of snow birding. All this talk of staying put in the heat with the AC running, or racing back to the snow seems just wrong to me. There's 1500 - 2000 miles that you can play in.

4' of snow on the ground, below zero temps...I may never go back there..

B.O.

NOPE! :B

Yes and no. I do miss having some private space especially when the wife and I get on each other's nerves. Yes, when I think about being able to open the door and let the dogs walk themselves. Yes when I think about having some elbow room in the kitchen and a dishwasher. Yes when I think about sitting in the hot tub watching the sun come up. BUT THAT IS UNTIL I LOG INTO MY WEATHER STATION AND WEBCAM AND SEE THE SNOWDRIFT IN THE YARD. We'll give it a few more weeks.

I was coming out of the McDonalds at the intersection of I-69 and highway 38 at Pendleton, Indiana last night heading home. I was crossing over I-69 (heading West on 38). They finally put a stop light at the I-69 / Hwy 38 exit, so I had to stop to let traffic come off I-69. So guess what's on the exit ramp heading North that get's the green light? A really nice Montana 5er! At first I thought this might be another transport. We get a lot of them through there, but heading North?... Well, when he made the turn I saw a 6 foot step ladder strapped to his rear ladder, a bicycle carrier with bicycles (or something) under a tarp all tucked away. Quite obvious he was heading home, probably lived somewhere around my area. He was heading toward Noblesville on Highway 38, I turned and he went on. AND! It was snowing again last night!

So, if that was you coming off of I-69 at the Highway 38 Pendleton Exit at 7:31 pm last night (Wednesday) ... WELCOME back to Frozen Indiana! I bet when you woke up today you wished you'd stayed South a bit longer!

That's because you're a FT'er. Most snowbirds have a S&B "home" somewhere that has all of their big footprint hobbies, extra car(s), toys, and may be located nearby their kids/grandkids. Their RV is used just as a temp home. When it's time to stop traveling they have a S&B place to settle into for the long term.

Other than always packing and unpacking, and being stuck below I10 for 90% of the road time, I find it a very good compromise.

The weather here in AZ is just fine,so we'll probably stay till mid April,then meander north to ??.Will more than likely end up in Maine or the Meritimes for the summer.
Life is Good !!

Nope. Low 80s here in Palm Bay, FL.

Another couple days of zero and below, here in WNY. But, the local weather man reported that there is a warm-up coming by the end of the week......... 33 deg. Yeah! That's how low we've fallen, when we consider that a "warm-up". :)
