As a more-than-7-year-resident, here's a rough idea of how I adjust my thinking during the year:
When I can walk into a TV restaurant at 6 pm and be seated immediately, it is Summer!
When I encounter as many as a dozen golf carts backed up at a major golf-cart-path-and-automobile-route intersection, it must be Winter!
When ALL the check-out lanes at Publix are open, it must be Winter, and is probably near the beginning of the month!
When all traffic on Morse Blvd, heading north, is backed up to San Marino Drive, then it is Winter. If that back-up is reduced to less than 50 yards, then it is Summer, again!
Overall, of course, we permanent residents put up with our "hordes" of Winter visitors because without them, we'd be sitting here with no one else!
