For those who live here year-round, do you actually make strong friendships with people who aren't around for a good part of the year? And for for snowbirds, how has your experience been trying to make friendships?

Thanks.
I’m a frog—here ‘til I croak. I don’t make strong friends easily. However, there are several snowbird couples I’ve had fun with who I’ll be happy to see again next winter. I play in a lot of bluegrass and country jams, and now that the snowbirds have left, our jams are a third smaller. It will be nice to have them back, too.
