    Default Keep that extra time in hand.

    Hello and welcome to the RTA forums !

    I will let others comment on what route would be best suitable based on your vehicle set up, but as for the weather there is just no way of knowing what will happen until much nearer the time, so you should keep an open mind. Going south does not guarantee you will not see winter weather, it actually increases your chances of seeing some, as you would be on the road for longer. Interstates are a priority to keep open and traffic moving through the winter and that '"day or so " you are prepared to add to your journey time, is time you should have in reserve along the direct route[s] when, in the event of a storm, you can pull off the road early [or leave later] while the road crews do their job of clearing the road. Worse case scenario is you end up drinking coffee in a nice warm motel room rather than burning money in gas driving the long way around in a noisy truck ! Best case is that you will have fine weather all the way, which in this case would mean at least 5 overnight stops on route.

    Safe travels.
