I honestly forgot. Is it around now, mid-March, or sometime in April? Snowbirds bring in a lot business, and when they leave sales drop by a significant amount until they return. I'm trying to gauge how much time I have left to really work extra hard while I can.

Usually around May when it starts to heat up.
Okay. Thanks man!
After Easter
Seems like the you start seeing them @ Thanksgiving, and they leave @ Easter
Many do start heading back after Easter/Passover but the rule of thumb is Labor Day to Memorial Day. By the time Memorial Day rolls around the last stragglers start heading home.
Snowbird season is the opposite of baseball season. They arrive just after the World Series, and leave just after opening day.
Exhibition season (March) is the busiest.
Less traffic noise, more white noise as the A/C starts running all day.
Seriously. I’ll take the traffic and the snowbirds if it’s 70 outside.
Do you mean that wide luxury sedan drifting side to side, going slowly in the fast lane?
Around Memorial Day or the first day to hit 100°, can’t wait
I’ve heard many snowbirds tell me they go home when the snow is gone back home, not when it heats up here. Makes sense to me, assuming they like back home better than here, save for the weather.
Usually the last week of March they start filtering out of our development (age 55 plus community) , and by April 15, a large percentage are gone. Last year more of them stayed into early May than usual, and after that this place was back to being a ghost town (the way I like it). The snowbirds that we know typically have to get home for two reasons that they quote every year - those who want to get home to spend Easter with the grandkids, and those who have to go home to finish taxes. This year, Easter isn't until April 21 so there may be more of them who aren't in quite as big of a hurry to get home.

Not soon enough!
Speak for yourself! My business drops significantly when they all leave, so please don't cut my busy season any shorter.
my business also significantly drops when they leave.
so please, make them go back to ohio, work is hell during these months.
But do you own said business, or just work for them?
lol just work for them, otherwise i’d have opposite feelings.
