Snowbirds flock to the Sunbelt from November to April in greater numbers every year to escape the cold winter months of the Snowbelt areas of the United States and Canada (e.g., Hogan, Happel, & Walls, 2003; S. K. Smith & House, 2006). Using a basic interpretative qualitative inquiry approach, the current study explored the experiences of older adults who migrated seasonally during the winter months, the lifestyle issues and concerns that were important to them, and the impact of this lifestyle on their intergenerational family relationships. Twenty-five seasonal migrants to the Sunbelt were interviewed from the upper Midwest. Seven themes were identified regarding their experiences: (a) there was flexibility and adaptability to change; (b) there was continuity in personality, activity and lifestyle; (c) friendships were established and maintained; (d) snowbirds' lifestyles were diverse; (e) health and safety considerations affected lifestyle; (f) internal and external forces shaped the snowbird experience; and (g) seasonal migration was developmental. A qualitative examination was also conducted to investigate snowbirds' intergenerational relationships with children and grandchildren, and how they managed holiday traditions and other family events while away. Four themes were identified relating to this research: (a) continued importance of family ties with seasonal migration; (b) grandchildren were very significant in snowbirds' lives; (c) family change affects, but does not end, seasonal migration; and (d) snowbirds' satisfaction with maintaining holiday traditions and other family events.
