A little fun on a Friday morning, since we are on the subject ... we learned the proper definitions when we moved here:
1. Snow flakes - renters, in Jan, Feb and March
2. Snow birds - own two homes, one here, and one north. In FL for ~6 months between Nov. and Mar.
3. Frogs - own only in FL and are here until we croak.

I also recently learned that in polite society we no longer use the term Snow bird, as it's developed a negative connotation. We are supposed to refer to the #2 classification as "seasonal" from now on. ;-)
