You've already gotten the best advice anyone will ever be able to give you for a trip such as the one you'll be making. Namely - Take the shortest all-Interstate route you can. Interstates are kept open when other roads are closed. They are, after all, officially designated The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways. The time you save by using such a route then allows you to simply sit out any inclement weather in a warm and dry room while the road crews do their job.

You make a solid point regarding the interstate usage and using one user's experience as the sole basis from which to base this trip in. Is all too easy to be confounded with unique stories and deem them convention. Thank you for your insight. Did you mean the route GLC suggested? If yes time to break out the paper map and plan accordingly because im not so good with technology i.e, Google maps, so I can reroute using the suggested routes provided by GLC.
