   Good idea, thanks.  Here's what it had to say...   
      
   you usually have to get to about central Mississippi or southern   
   Alabama in February to reliably avoid nighttime freezing. From   
   Omaha, that’s roughly 900–1,000 miles of driving.   
      
   Here’s how it typically breaks down along a common southbound route (I-29 →   
   I-35 → I-44 → I-40 → I-55/I-65   
      
   Typical February average low temperatures (actual cold snaps can   
   still happen)   
      
   Omaha, NE – ~15°F   
   Kansas City, MO – ~25°F   
   Tulsa, OK – ~30°F (freezes still common)   
   Little Rock, AR – ~34°F (right on the edge; freezes still occur)   
   Memphis / Jackson, MS – ~37–40°F (freezing becomes uncommon)   
      
   So depending on the forecast, it might work if we go without water   
   the first night.   
      
   And thanks to sticks for the suggestion of putting somee antifreze   
   in the tank.  There' likely some in there already from   
   winterizing, but I would add more.
