I10 Fl. to Ca.
We're thinking about spending December and part of January in southern California. What kind of weather can we generally expect that time of year traveling from Florida to Borrego Springs and back?

I have made the drive from Tampa FL to Yuma AZ twice a year since 2008. That would be 4400 miles round trip, and I almost have I-10 memorized. In comparison with other interstates it is not bad. Louisiana is tough as I had my rear bedroom window shatter from the rough road.
The bridge someone mentioned is no big deal.
Weather can be unpredictable. I wouldn't worry about the snow as you can easily anticipate it coming to you. Wind is a bigger issue - especially in the west Texas to Arizona stretch. My dog and I spent three days in a Louisiana hotel as snow had closed the Interstate during on January trip.
Houston, San Antonio and El Paso are all horrible due to crazy traffic. I tried to time my drive so I would pass thru early AM before rush hour.
It took me three and a half days to drive. Usually towed my Honda. Watch fuel state in West Texas as they can be far between where you can get drive a big rig into.
