Is some kind of a great Canadian migration going on?
We drove about 20 miles going north on I79 near Pittsburgh this morning. Probably three quarters of the cars that passed us were from Ontario. My son speculated that they were all migrating north after spending the winter in Florida.

1. Yep, snowbirds going home.
We have a lot down here. Actually people from all over, mostly retirees. We call them "Winter Texans" because they spend the winter here and then go back home, where ever that might be.

Possibly they might also be college students returning home after spring break, although I do not know if Canadian colleges have spring break.
