Yes 199 can be icy and have chain requirements. If I had to pick my route now, and not wait til the time comes and see if it's clear an dry, I would go north on 101 to eithere 42 or 38.

Any of the roads can be icy in the winter, check the weather before you leave and than take the best way or wait until it clears up.
I have been on all those roads in the winter and never had to chain up except on I5.
