I don't know where to post this so if it needs to be moved please feel free to do so.We are thinking about spending the winter in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and am wondering about the weather temperatures. According to the average temperatures listed on the national weather averages it looks fairly good. I was looking at various campground web pages an noticed there were pictures of snow during February. We don't mind cool weather but don't want to be freezing and spending all of our time inside. Don't want to spend a small fortune on propane but....We spent last winter in south Texas and it was great temperature wise but would like to see something different.Just looking for some input from others who have spent the winter in the above mentioned states and how you found the weather.Any and all input would be appreciated.Thanks. Paul...

Gotta be better than the northern midwest in January. :)

La & Ms generally only have about 12 days per year of freezing weather. We camp all winter, well, Oct thru May anyway

Hi,Find the city you will be near to. Go to weather underground and look up the history for that location.

there is a site called Weatherbase. It is very handy. Try the link below.Weatherbase

I hope I can help out. We live in South Alabama, 40 miles from the Florida line. The beaches of Panama City, and Destin are 1-1/2 hours from here. Winter temps are mostly mild, In January the highs are in the upper 50s to low 60s. 70 degree highs are not uncommon. We do get a touch of winter though. When an Arctic front comes through, expect lows of around the upper teens to low 20's for a few nights. Snow is not common. Everyone gets excited when we see a few flakes. Last significant snowfall was the "Blizzard" of 2012 when we received 4". Before that was the "Blizzard" of '93 with 4" also. (Don't laugh, 4" shuts us down, there are no snow plows or salt trucks for 300 miles.) Because we enjoy winter camping, I do not winterize my RV. When I am not camping, I set the furnace thermostat to 40 degrees and it does not use too much propane. I think we used 3 bottles all winter.
