Is early May too early for I 90 across N US?
We are wondering if we will have freezing & snow if we leave WA May 1 & head for SD Badlands & the NE US. Thanks!

It should generally be okay, as the others have said. Once past the Rockies the chances of any significant snow are quite close to zero.
I-90, being one of the most important transcontinental transit routes, in general gets cleared of snow as quickly as possible when it comes. If you're willing to be a bit flexible in delaying a leg of the trip, you could go at most any time of the year, even the dead of winter, and usually avoid seeing much in the way of really nasty travel conditions.
There is a chance that next winter will be colder and longer than typical due to the recent volcanic activity. I doubt it will be another 1816 (the year without a summer), thankfully.
