How cold are the winters in the southern United States?|145784

I_m coming from Canada. I_d like to visit the southern United States later on in the year during the Fall and Winter. I don_t mind wearing a coat.

How cold do the winters get in the South? Is is still enjoyable to go out and explore the cities? Are most of the tourist attractions shut down?

I plan on backpacking across all the southern states so all answers are most welcome!

Here in North Florida it can get into the 20_s sometimes a little colder. But it also warms up during the day. And the cold spells don_t last more than a week or so then it will only get down into the 50_s or so for a week or two then we_ll get another cold spell. But it_s generally quite pleasant.

they can get in the twenty, usually thirties or fourties. but nothing that could stop you from exploring the cities, none of the tourist attractions are shut down usually. however, the schools shut down at the mereist threat of snow. unlike the north, we don_t have a readily supply of ice, snowplows, car tire spinners, etc.

Well in Texas - it doesn_t get too cold. Around 30s for the coldest days. Other than that pretty enjoyable.

in the 20s down here in south ga. i hear it snows a little up around atlanta but never seen it.
