My folks live in Georgia, which is about an hour away from Alabama. They get some cold in the winter, like they do in Northern Alabama, but ice and snow are very rare. It's usually pleasant by early February and hot by May. The entire state of Alabama is very humid in the summertime. But as Vacation Buddy mentioned, you do have the nice gulf breezes if you're staying along the coast. Oh, and fall in Northern Alabama is wonderful. The leaves sure put on a nice show!
