[gregggg]

It very much depends on both your tolerance for the cold and the luck of the draw weather-wise, but personally, I would chance starting or finishing as far north as Southern Virginia.

If you are going N-S you might consider picking your starting point based on the weather patterns at that time.  If you are going S-N you could alter your finisihng point based on current conditions at the time.
