I always go I-44 to WF, 277 to Abilene, I-20 out to I-10 unless particularly nasty weather says "don't go just now" and that could be not just winter weather, but tornado outbreaks as well.
30+ years of habit, it was the preferred route for mail-car twice-daily runs NE Oklahoma to Odessa.
Been through New Mexico diagonally as well, route is more scenic but slower, and mountain roads more susceptible to winter conditions.
this is the route we have taken for 10 years. I-44 thru Okla costs us 30.00. We get on before Tulsa and off in WF to go 277 to Abilene. Fuel is usually cheaper on I-44 and easy to get into the service areas. Good hwy all the way. 277 is great, has been re-routed to bypass the towns, so have a full tank before you get on it. Dona
