There isn’t a specific date when they come and go. Snowbird owners may stay longer than snowbird renters. The owners come any time they like and leave any time they like. Snowbird renters are more likely to be here in monthly blocks and be here during the worst of winter.
Snowbirds start trickling in at the end of October, and like migrating birds, the increase is heavier week by week and through December. Plenty come right after Thanksgiving or right after Christmas. January and February is when we have the best golf weather and the most snowbirds. A sizable number leaves at the end of February if they are renting by the month, and a much bigger number at the end of March. In April most of the rest flock North and West.
The traffic now is already much less than it was a month ago, and this time next month it will be much less, nearing the low point. I spend a lot of time playing music in jams in The Villages, and throughout this month various friends have left for the summer as their summer homes warm up. I miss them. It’s always nice to have them back.
