SORRY it's long, but please hang in there so I can explain and ask for help..
My daughter aged 9 and myself (young female) are about to embark on a long drive from Delaware to Orlando, FL next week. This is something we've been planning since November and was looking forward to it. However, now that we only have 1 week to go, I'm beginning to panic. Not only is it our 1st long road trip by ourselves, so of course that gives me the jitters period. As of right now, my biggest worry is hitting bad weather through all the states we have to drive through. Heck, I can't even drive through the town where I live if I see just one flurry without having a panic attack. Well, low and behold, the East Coast has been getting slammed with very cold temps and on and off again snow. Even in FL it's been freezing cold. I still have another day or two to make up my mind to cancel the road trip and do it by train, but it'll break my heart. I really wanted my daughter to experience a great big healthy/knowledgeable road trip as we did many times when I was small, but I'm now thinking twice about it at this very late in the game. I've heard from people that it could take anywhere from 15-19 hours to get there from my house, and most people just stay over one night on the road, but I've alloted my self 3 days going down and two days getting back. One last thought before my plea for help, to take a train or plane, I'd be looking at doubling the cost than driving by the time I do the train/plane tix, the transportation to and from airport, rental car, etc.

With that all said, can I ask everyone two ?'s....

1st....I'll be taking I-95 from Delaware to Orlando for the most part, so is there a web site where I can enter that info and see what types of weather is expected for that time period, if it's this site, can you show me where and/or how?

2nd....of course, I'd love to hear any and all types of questions from everyone offering to help. Whether it's on the topic of weather, or on anything else pertaining to our trip, like where can we find a cheap place to stay one or two nights on the road, people's thoughts on the condition of south of the border (a place I used to love and wanted her to stay there overnight), r/t tricks, etc.

Thank-you!
