Sunfish?
What is the antonym of a Snowbird? (Someone who has moved from a hot place to a cold place.)

Love it (the term and the boat)

A related term is the 'halfback,' one who moves 1st from the frozen NE to FL, then misses the seasons & moves to NC.

Lacking judgement.

I may just be a bigger wimp than most. Even the SF Bay area winter was too much for me (mostly just too grey and rainy for too long).

Iceweasel?

(Not actually opposite, but some weird free association thing my brain just did)

Also the name of a browser variant from Firefox
-
Yeah, i've used it. That's probably why the name came into my head at all.

In my dialect, a snowbird only lives in the hot place during the winter (no more than 6 months, to avoid losing Canadian health insurance).
-
The converse, someone who comes to a cold place during their summer months, is locally known as an "Australian" and found only on ski hills.

Um, firebird?

For your Arizona friend, I would have special-cased firebird as "phoenix", but sunfish rocks.
