Your main concern wont be traction, but postholing through the snow.
Weather is chilly in April.
All i can say is......
Plan your route out very well, prepare for a bivouac because the weather can turn on you (which it normally does for eastcoasters).
Snowshoes (because I presume you dont own a randonee setup in Florida).
Trekking poles are a must while postoling or the other.
And if ya cant find a partner for the walk up there....throw me a shout, I'll take a run up there with you.
