January usually has us fantasizing about island vacations and warmer climates as we trudge through the snow and ice to get to work and school. While some just dream about warmer temperatures, there are a lucky few - affectionately known as snowbirds - who actually get a chance to escape the cold every winter.
Here's a look at rentals in some of the milder-climate cities where snowbirds choose to fly south for the winter.
