Snow birding or why?

Next year will be the first year we become snowbirds. I spent 30 years driving around 8 hours a day in really nasty winter weather taking care of others who had gone in the ditch or were in accidents. I had to stand out in below 0 temperatures directing traffic 100's of times wondering if the drivers could even see me. Numerous times over the years I had to take a tactical position by laying in the snow for hours while we negotiated with deranged individuals to come out of the house they barricaded themselves in. I was treated for frostbite 4 times over the years. Now that I'm retired, I stay in the house when the weather is ugly. I have a heated shop too. I could use it after I spend a couple hours snow blowing and shoveling our driveway and walkway but by then I'm pretty tired so I go back in the house and do a whole bunch of nothing. Living here in the Northeast in the snow belt means I do this routine from the end of November until April. I love this area in the summer but I've had enough of the extreme winters (Just a few days ago it was Minus 10 degrees). That's why we're becoming snowbirds.
