First of all I call you smart! Years ago after an aunt and uncle who had resided in Towson, MD their whole lives bought a home in Winterhaven, FL. I used to drop by and visit them - but never in the summer. Over time I got to know a couple of successful local businessmen who spent their summers elsewhere, one in an RV, the other in a second home in the NC mountains. Neither one was fond of central Florida summers.

I have heard people who split their time between two homes referred to as splitters so that is what I call myself. Since splitter is not descriptive of weather driven change of residence perhaps another term would be more appropriate to the OP's circumstance.
