spotted my first snowbird this morning!

Just ahead of me, ID'd as Flori-duh-bird. Couldn't miss the orange and green plates.

Spring is finally here, although you couldn't tell by the temps!

Oh, the life I would live if I could be a snowbird! Problem is, I'd never go south again.

Our snowbirds have Michigan, Illinois, Indiana plates.
What are these Florida snowbirds you speak of?

That ain't right.
Snowbirds are folks who come south for the winter.
We got lots in coastal Alabama.

is called a snowbird up here.

They usually have out-of-state tags because they prefer southern (low tax) states as primary residence.
