So far we have noticed very little uptick in traffic. We visited north during the summer, returning end of August instead of first of October to catch the fall color before track down

At 0745 this morning I had to wait for approximately twenty cars to pass by in order for me to cross Morse Blvd. on my bicycle, north of 466. I travel this route nearly every day, crossing at the same spot. This is a major increase from just a week ago, and I believe it is due to an early start of snowbird season. Plus, it's pretty clear that the number of walkers on the local multimode trails has increase significantly too.

We did. But now you are one of us. 😉
Exactly how long do you have to live in TV before you can start complaining about the newbies and snowbirds?

Don’t know the answer to your question, but the seasoned snowbirds are known to complain about newbies just like the FROGS do. And if one is a newbie snowbird, watch out!

Sorry. TV has grown so much since we came (just 5 years ago). Roads are horrible and overcrowded with way too many folks that don't know what they are doing.
Bet people said that about us too when we first came. Now we get it.
If you like we can have a snowbird meeting asking everyone to be full time, then no more complaints. Roads, shopping, golf, overcrowding, will be like High Season Year Round. Wouldn’t that be fun:22yikes:

Snowbird complaints start the day a full timer has to wait more than 2 minutes in grocery line:clap2::1rotfl::MOJE_whot:

Then maybe you would get Costco, Trader Joe's and all the upscale restaurants that don't come here due to less business in the summer?😃

Might be getting cold up there, but rain here is getting ridiculous. Have never seen a wetter summer and I have lived in Florida over 65 year.

I think we were in a deficit until the last several weeks. My rain gage is the par 3 hole by the Pinellas Pool. The water in the pond is about 6-8 inches from reaching the green right now. A month ago it was over 2 feet lower.
