It’s pretty common in this area for people who don’t like the cold to move and live somewhere else for the Winter — like Arizona or Florida, or even Mexico or the Caribbean etc. And we call these people Snowbirds here in Idaho. I mean, maybe that’s just what they’re called everywhere, but I know for sure we call them snowbirds here in Idaho.

There’s a recent article from Cheapism that shares the coldest and warmest cities in each state. They said, “If you're looking for a warm getaway this winter, chances are you might first look to Florida or Texas. But the U.S. is a big place, and there's a lot of variation in temperatures even between cities in the same state. We've compiled a list of the warmest and coldest cities in each, so you have names to add to your destination list.”

So, what cities made the list for Idaho?
