Dan, in Jan 2010, I towed my 911 with my 4x4 truck from Tacoma WA to FL. At the time CA was getting hit with tons of weather and the Northern Tier was bad and icy. So I decided instead of heading south on I-5 to I-40 or I-10 I decided to try to sneak thru between storms on 1-5 to I-84 to I-15 thru Utah and cutoff to New Mexico. I got caught in a snowstorm passing thru Utah. Bad stuff that was. I got to FL OK then flew home and 2 weeks later the wife and I drive her 2002 T-bird to FL. Same drill, mid Feb and storms all around. Decided to go the Northern route, plus she had always wanted to see Rushmore and the Arch in St Louis. Colder than hell, but we got lucky and nothing too bad and didn't need the chains. We just missed some terrible road icing from Omaha to just west of St Louis that happened the day before we got there.

Watch the weather closely my friend and carry some chains with you and a little survival kit just in case. Chose your route carefully. Good luck to you. I just love these adventures and this will be an adventure. Please post along the way so we can send the cavalry if need be.
