Driving I95 is a miserable experience more often than not, so you should look at alternatives.

One is to head west and pick up I81 in central Pa. You could then take I77 to central N. C., from where you have several options (including those mentioned above).

Or you could go east of I95, down the Delmarva peninsula. Look at route 1 from Newark, Del. to 13 down the center of the peninsula. Or you could go south in N. J. to Cape May, take the ferry to Lewes, then take 9 over to 13. Either way, you cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to Hampton, Va. Then you can make your way to 17 and follow it to Charleston, S. C. I recently did this route from Delaware to Hampton and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Both routes would probably take longer than I95 but are infinitely more interesting.

The Blue Ridge is a lovely drive but very slow, and snow will close some sections. Check before you start.
