Climate Change makes responding in a responsible way a bit of a puzzle these days. The southern states have been ravaged by unusually cold weather this winter. Odds are it will only be worse next winter. It's really impossible at this stage to know how much, if any, ice storms will impact the area you're considering driving through in late November, early December 2015.

That being said, any day spent on a road trip trumps one spent at home!

Some of the attractions might be closed or less active during the time frame you're now considering, but the thing to remember is that the weather is USUALLY a lot nicer for roadtripping in the fall and winter months than in summer in the southern states.

For that reason, I'd say you should consider taking the trip when you can. But you have to know that climate change is affecting just about everything these days.
