Signs of how to spot a Snowbird.
 

I’ll get this started by throwing out three signs of how to spot a snowbird. Keep them coming, but keep it positive. After all, nobody wants them to become an endangered species since the results would include year round crowds, reduced property values, less businesses remaining viable, and higher expenses for the FROGS.

Here’s three signs.

Being pasty white from a lack of sunshine.
Their car is covered with road salt.
They have a big smile that stretches from ear to ear.

They’re clueless when they approach a roundabout

They are in shorts and tee shirts while FROGS are in hats, gloves and jackets.

Sounds more like a Floridian. A lot more round a bouts up north than in other parts of Florida

Or while driving thru the roundabout

Where do think all these villagers came from? :a040:

Driving down MMP with the car. Entering roundabout in left lane and turning right at first exit. Goin to 3rd exit entering roundabout in right lane. Stopping at roundabout when no traffic coming, rolling through 4 way stop and keep going when car on there right was at intersection first. Opps this happens year round…:boom:

Driving a non road legal golf cart on road way, I have seen two examples so far this year

They DON'T speed in their golf carts or cars.
Always smiling.
Never complaining.
Leave big tips.
Hold the door for others.
Stop for people at crosswalks.
AND always say good shot!

Renter Snowbirds: Playing in the rain, with 40 degree temperatures, because I am only here for ___________time.

Owner Snowbirds: have zero trademark indication. Cool summers with a lake you can swim in and live to tell. Happy they got to see the leaves turn colors, sad they raked. Happy to see the first snow(if they were lucky). Then closed their up north home, possibly driving in crap weather (at least this week) to their TV home.

Smiles all around that they have the best of both worlds, for their lifestyle.

I actually saw a late model corvette go around a round-about clockwise yesterday. Couldn't see the plates, but I bet they weren't Florida. That's the fourth time in the 12 years we've lived here that I've seen a car going around the wrong way.

All Villagers who have been born, raised, and never lived outside of Florida, raise your hands. Ahh okay, both of you guys - you two can say whatever you like. Everyone else? Hypocrites.

Snowbirds are the ones that still use directional signals.

When you see someone stop in a traffic circle yielding to the incoming traffic that actually has a yield sign..Yup..New Jersey.

Well you say that but some us come from Texas via southern Arizona so . . .
