Hi all,
Am planning to drive WA to NJ either mid/late December to early Jan. My main objective is not sightseeing, rather bailing out of WA unemployment back to friends and family in NJ. Although it would be cool to see some of the country I'm driving across!

During a better time of year I would definitely take the Northern route, but Dec./Jan. weather makes me leery. Any suggestions for a best weather - but not too far out of the way route?

Thanks,
Andy
