+1, no need to push it. I'm a transplant to the North West from the South. One thing that I have yet to get used to is how the weather can be nice and sunny, say 45 degrees at the base of the mountain, and a zero visibility blizzard on top of the pass! When I first relocated I almost wiped out my M3 and I was only driving about 10 mph. I swear my LSD did me in, it pulled me around and I spun 180 and went down the mountain backwards (counter steering did not work) - luckily it was a long straight and no cars were near, I slid and finally stopped (not a scratch) .....
I'd hate to see a vintage 911 totaled (and you possibly injured or worse). One year I traveled from Denver to Gillette, WY in January. I froze while driving a new rental car (Chrysler Cirrus I think) because it was so cold the heat would not work (my giant down jacket and Meindl boots saved me here). I passed maybe 2-3 cars the whole way - if the car had broke down I would have died.
Best Wishes for the trip, the weather West of the Rockies is so brutal at times....
