I really like your term "winter residents." It' so much nicer than the term snowbirds with all the negative connotations that people have given it.

We are permanent since 7/13. I enjoy the cooler weather. Can walk my Michigan dog in the daylight. I like to put jeans and sweaters on every once in a while. I'm not crazy about 97 degrees in August, but oh well. I'd much rather suffer the summer heat down here than the winter cold up north.

And the traffic down here is a piece of cake!
