How far south do I need to drive to reach warmer temps and dewinterize ?
My first trip south I learned the hard way that Kentucky is definitely NOT far enough south to dewinterize! :B
And don't be tempted when it you get a day of warm weather in Georgia either. You can be snow and iced in the next day! :W
I now wait until I am completely into Florida.
Have a safe trip down and do take your time and pull off the road when the weather turns bad. At that time of the year you WILL be dodging bad weather. Southern states are NOT prepared for taking care of the roads during winter.
I don't know what they do in Canada but I also learned real quick that the southern folks don't have snowplows, don't salt and basically everything shuts down with a 2 inch snowfall.
Being from Wisconsin I found that a real shocking experience for me! AND dangerous as the southern drivers do NOT know how to drive in even the lightest snow. One inch of snow on the road and I saw 8 or 120 cars careening off the road in front of me and taking others with them when I decided not to ever drive in the south when snowing.:R
