Everyone's definition is different. To me, a snowbird is someone who comes to visit for an extended period of time. A snowflake is someone who comes occasionally for a visit. A seasonal resident owns a home in TV but usually owns another home up north.

A frog lives full time in TV and will be here until they croak.

You'll figure out the terminology as you read the threads. "In The Bubble" and "On Campus" refer to being "on the ground" in TV. Drinking the Koolaid refers to the feeling of helplessness that afflicted most of us when we first visited TV, and somehow ended up buying a home, often unplanned!
