I really never understood snowbirds until the last couple of years. You're just stuck in this crap. I think it does lead to some type of low grade depression, whether you realize it or not.

I don't really want to be in Florida, I just want to be in a dry yard and out doing something.[/quote]


My folks and my grandfolks on both sides were snowbirds-- picked up from Cincy and relocated to Florida every year. My grandfather started doing it within a few years of arriving in this country-- He'd build houses up here for 3 seasons and then pack the family up and go down to Miami Beach and get some starts under his belt starting about Nov1.

KYHillChick and I have taken a few winter vacations, but we won't start snowbirding until we retire. There is a good reason for me: hypothyroidism. You deplete Thyroid hormones as part of your body trying to deal with cold weather. With someone like me, the Thyroid gets behind and once it does, it stays behind all winter. If I can spend some time down south and not tax my Thyroid, it makes life so much easier. Some people get depressed. I just get absent-minded.

I like winter, as long as I have things to do outside.
Very little yard work, but chores take several hours a day with the livestock, snow removal etc.
March seems to be when cabin fever bothers some folks the most.
If your are afflicted- go outside and enjoy the winter

I ice fish.
I Hunt Coyotes.
I enjoying my trips to the range testing new loads and Rifles for accuracy.
I will be travelling to various snowmobile competitions all winter.
I just got back from a three day trip to "Yellowstone Country" and Yellowstone Park.

There is simply "never enough time" in my retirement for all my activities!

I live in MAINE so you know what the weather is like this time of the year.

My dog Chase has it figured out, we shoot out of the living room when it stops snowing

I think there is something wrong with your fish Paul.


Might should take it to the vet and get it checked.

Im feeling it. My wife/kids is visiting her family in Arizona for the last two weeks. Its been a high of zero and a low of -25 for almost a month. Its to miserable to go riding snow machine or predator call. Ive done every project I can think of. Went to sportsmans wharehouse to buy bullets to reload and they were sold out. I bought a "cut to fit" butt pad and the damn thing is to small. I even trimmed my wifes dogs nails while it bit the sh it out of me. First time in years I look foreward to just going to work.

It's crazy Richard, but I'll take it.

Minimums of -10* all last week & a half, maximums from there to -1* !

This week, last year, we were in the Caribbean & it was -40* the whole time we were gone.
