We've been heading south from SE WI for four years now, usually in late February. Like most have stated here, watch your weather reports and let that be your guide!
Two years ago we "missed" an eight inch snow storm by ONE day, it's all about timing! We left the Milwaukee area a day ahead of schedule, spent the night in the southern tip of Illinois where it had barely snowed at all while up the road in Champaign they got eight inches! By the time we pulled out on the second day the roads we barely wet. Watch the weather and travel when it makes the most sense.
Depending on temperature we de-winterize in southern Illinois or south of Memphis on our second day on the road. Usually by then we feel we're out of the "danger zone".
