The time frame that I have is from dicember to february, as i know, the worst season to do my tripˇ

Can you please recomend me any or some possible routes? would be the weather an impassable barrier?
I can consider routes in the south, but i don't want to go very deep in the south.
I really appreciate every opinion or advice

thanks a lot in advance
Carlos
why does it have to be across the U.S.? why not pick a state and see the whole of it instead of seeing a narrow band across several? for example, florida. then once your done with one state, time permitting, move on to another. thats how i'd do it.

The question for you guys is, can be the middle or end of february a good time to start?
You need to get the idea out of your head that the USA is a tropical country. Except for Hawaii, it is not. February is the equivalent of August in the southern hemisphere. Would you recommend that cyclists start touring in Chile in la Region de los Lagos or la Carretera Austral in August? I don't think so.
