I'm heading down to Orlando FL. on the 23rd of December to Jan 3rd. I don't want to drive around Florida with winter setup. So my question is how much snowfall in the past years in the Northern states. Can 20's with summer tires be a problem around that time. I want to take some pics in Florida and possibly, meet up with some members down there for a mini meet or something.

Go to Florida with Summer setup or winter setup to be safe.

Any members around Orlando want to meet up for a mini meet?

Summer tires are also affected by temperatures that fall near and below 30-40 degrees. If you find yourself driving on clear roads on a freezing cold winter day/night, traction and handling could be a problem.
