Dress warm at least for the first leg of the trip

Where in Upstate NY are you? You know the weather here. You could easily be snowed in or get lucky and have a few tolerable days.

Have you thought about the weather on the return ride? Or will there be a return?

Not a good idea. Spent a lot of time long-haul trucking and it gets cold all the way down at that time of year. Even Alabama can get pretty cool and damp.

Just play it by ear if possible clean dry roads are my #1 priority in the winter. I can dress to keep warm.
