Typical Winter Weather for Snowbird Destinations

Most winters in a snowbird destination are pleasant and a great escape from the harsh cold of winter.  Yet despite all of our best wishes, the winter weather in snowbird destinations can turn cooler.  Florida, Arizona, and California do occasionally experience cold fronts although the odds are in favor of warm weather as shown by the information below.  As with anywhere one travels, it is always prudent to throw in a sweatshirt and check the weather often.

The following links can give you an idea of typical winter weather (Jan-Mar) for a sampling of snowbird destinations.  A summary of the information is listed below each destination, but clicking on the destination will take you to the wunderground.com Trip Planner with detailed historical weather information.
