Sunflake, Sunbird ?
If a snowflake is someone who only comes down for a few months (and usually rents) and a snowbird is someone who comes down for 5 to 6 months (rents or owns). What is a Florida resident who owns and claims this as their legal address but leaves for June July and August. I do not consider myself a snowbird as I am now a resident of Florida but I am planning to avoid the mid summer bake. So what do you call me.

Another friend and resident of the Villages...welcome! Labels separate, don't you think?

How about Seasonal, I am down here for 6+ months and rent then go back to my beautiful northern Michigan, I love the fact that I have the best of both worlds ...Just an observation do we really need the labels? Then again in my area {resort town} we call vacationers Fudgies LoL

First of all I call you smart! Years ago after an aunt and uncle who had resided in Towson, MD their whole lives bought a home in Winterhaven, FL. I used to drop by and visit them - but never in the summer. Over time I got to know a couple of successful local businessmen who spent their summers elsewhere, one in an RV, the other in a second home in the NC mountains. Neither one was fond of central Florida summers.
I have heard people who split their time between two homes referred to as splitters so that is what I call myself. Since splitter is not descriptive of weather driven change of residence perhaps another term would be more appropriate to the OP's circumstance.

How about Fair Weather Frog?
You have Florida residency/domicile but hop out of Dodge when the weather turns hot and humid. |
Humiditybird.
The summer temperature in Florida isn't the problem - it's the high humidity with the 90 degree temperature that makes it uncomfortable. . |
Summer fleas sounds good. It is not about labels per say. People were making up a chore duty schedule for glass fusion and were asked to notify if we were snowbirds. Someone replied she was a full participating member and didn't consider herself a snow birds as she only leaves for three months, where as many members are only here for three months, which made me think.
