What is the best route to drive cross country from CA to CT in the winter?|142466

Obviously I want to avoid the ice and snow found while driving across the Sierra Nevada from Sacramento to Reno, as well as the icestorms across the North route, in Dakota and Wyoming etc. I will be moving cross country in a 4x4 V6 2005 Ford Explorer.

If your starting in sacramento, you should take 80 all the way to Pennsylvania. You might have a bit of snow but that is the shortest route. (can be done in 3 days if you can do 1000 miles a day)

If you have time to kill, you want to head south to Los Angeles and take the southern route I40 to oklahoma and then cut up north through Missouri, IL, IN and hook up with I80.
