BTW, are you familiar with the weather in the South? It can be pretty durn cold just about anywhere in the South in February, with the exception of central and south Florida. It all depends on the timing and duration of cold fronts, and temperatures can cycle between being very mild to surprisingly cold. My birthday is in mid-January and we often take trips around the South during that time, and more often than not we seem to encounter very cold temperatures, snow and ice. Once we drove down to central Florida and camped out around Crystal Springs during the coldest weather in decades, with morning lows in the mid-teens. Another time we got caught in an ice-snow storm driving back from Savannah, GA.
