Louisiana to Seattle, WA in March
Headed to Seattle in March and am concerned about towing the RV through a lot of snow. Anyone made this trip? Any advice would so much be appreciated. Not sure if we should go up through CO or head up...

Speaking of winter weather issues:
- just a few days ago there was a multicar pileup (with a deaths) in north central Indiana (I94). A sudden flurry of lake effect snow (SE side of Lake Michigan) dropped visibility, leading the sudden braking, jackknifed trucks and crashes. Thule fogs in the central valley California have caused similar pileups. I've also read of similar pileups on the freeway east of Houston.
- dust storms can also drop visibility. There have warnings about this winter in Arizona. In that past they have also caused problems in central Washington (flat farmland that doesn't get much snow cover).
- about a week ago there were high winds through the Columbia Gorge, with speeds around 40 mph on the east side of Portland, and 100 mph at the pavilion on a bluff above the highway. I didn't read of any accidents.
