This is the reverse of a question discussed just a week or so ago.

The consensus is:
If you want to absolutely minimize the odds of having bad/freezing weather, head south as directly as you can (I-55 or 57 probably better than 75 because of fewer mountains) and then go west on I-10.

Take I-75 to I-71 to I-65 to I-20 to I-10. Using bypass routes around larger towns. If you want to do something different take Natchez Trace from near Nashville to I-20. Nice park ride at 50 mph.

Natchez Trace is a favorite route of ours also, but I'd go Natchez and south to I-10 at Baton Rouge instead of Dallas Ft Worth on I-20.

I would much rather deal with Dallas/Fort Worth traffic than Houston/San Antonio. Well actually we do not deal with any of them. We take US79 to US29 to US190 to I-10. Visiting friends along the way.

Go south to Florida. And stay there. lol It's dang cold here in Tucson right now.

I agree about crossing East to West I-20 skirts the south side of the DFW metroplex vs I-10 which goes right through the center of Houston and even the loops around Houston are pretty much all dense city traffic either way you end up on the Katy Freeway section of I-10 which is the widest section of interstate highway in the U.S.(Up to 26 lanes wide in some places) and San Antonio even though a smaller city is just a mess to get through on I-10.

Set your GPS for Arizona, turn your heater on high(that's where the "warm part" comes in) and start driving per instructions.

I-10 can be a no "picnic route" too. Certainly a longer drive from Central OH and facing the same weather concerns getting to warmer weather asap. Give some consideration to I-70 to St Louis. I-44 to Oklahoma City and I-40 on into AZ. Just watch the weather and you'll be fine.It's all good Interstate except for through Indy which can be offset by using I-465.

You could wait until July. Lol
