Hey Guys we are planning on leaving for Lake Alamo SP Arizona on Sunday the 1st from Toronto Ontario. I am planning on using the route that mapquest comes up with which looks pretty straight forward, would any one suggest either an alternate or or an adjustment to it? Also where is the soonest that I can de-winterize . Thanks

The shortest route is Toronto to I-69/I-94 in Michigan; I-44 Missouri; I-40 Oklahoma, NM, Arizona; I-17 Arizona to SR74 west to US60 to Alamo = 2380 milesYou have a risk of very bad weather conditions, especially on I-40.Another route would be taking I-44 to Oklahoma City; I-35 to Dallas; I-20 to I-10 and picking up US60 at Phoenix to Alamo = 2650 milesThat's a difference of 270 miles but driving I-20/I-10 in winter would be better than I-40, in my opinion.Have a safe trip!

This might not be the best weekend to travel. really keep an eye on the weather.Barb

Having done that trip a few times, my advice is to head south to the I20. Nashville, Memphis, Dallas. Or even to Birmingham before heading west.

Having made this trip several times. I would head south on I-75 to Cincinnati, OH. Then I-71 toward Louisville, KY. I-65 to Nashville, TN. The I-65 to Birmingham, AL. Then head West on I-20 to I-10.I have a APP on my I phone called Trip Weather. Put your trip into it with you leaving Sunday. Most of the trip especially in OHIO is RED. Meaning bad weather conditions for driving. When leaving the Detroit area I always monitor weather to determine when to travel what route to take.You should be able to dewinterize by the time you get to Nashville.

We are expecting bad weather in the Western PA, Ohio areas Sunday late afternoon into Monday with several inches of snow expected. Check your trip weather carefully before heading out. Best wishes for a safe and fun trip.

If you are still planning to leave on the first, be aware of the winter storm warnings from Illinois to New England. It will hit the midwest first on Sunday, Ohio and PA Sunday night, and New York and New England on Monday. Snow expectations are at least 3 inches to a foot or more depending on the path of the storm. Be safe.

Ok so we left this morning at 1:30am so that we could keep ahead of most of the storm .Stopped a few times for a quick nap and are now at a rest stop on I65 not far from salt river . Going to hit the hay early and get going again at about 5:30 -6:30 am .We did miss most of the storm but did hit a few dodgy patches. Thanks to everyone for all the advice and help.
