I can't imagine a full time resident actually despising snowbirds, as those snowbirds subsidize the full timers' retirements, as they pay year round but only use the amenities seasonally. I personally appreciate each and every one of them. But, am I allowed to dislike (not hate) "snowbird season"? Starting in November, and becoming really bad in January, the traffic on Morse Blvd goes from being bad to terrible, dinner at restaurants becomes a 45 minute wait at best, and yes, with more drivers on the roads, people become more impatient and behave badly sometimes. Even with all that, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Welcome back snowbirds, and I'll be anxiously awaiting your return to your other seasonal residence in the Spring.
