snowbirding
Chasing warmer weather
Snowbirding is the practice of migrating seasonally from cold northern regions to warmer southern climates, typically during winter months.
The term comes from snowbird—a person (usually retired) who escapes harsh winters by relocating temporarily to places like Florida or Arizona: They've been snowbirding in Tucson every January since Dad retired.
