We did the trip to Susanville in April and hit a lot of snow. No problem with that now. It is a pretty road and easy drive.
If it was me I would head north to Lincoln city from Newport and take 18 East making sure to use the bypass around McMinnville (and by the Spruce Goose). I would then turn south at Newberg and take the country road that hits I5 at Donald. This is a pretty road with little traffic. If you stay on 18 it turns into 99W into Portland which is a nightmare.
