Route overview
Up the Cajon Pass on I-15, past Las Vegas and into Utah, east on I-70 across the canyon country and over the Colorado Rockies to Denver, then northeast to I-80 for Nebraska and Iowa before the last leg through northern Illinois into Wisconsin.
The Rockies decide winter timing. I-70 climbs over Vail Pass, at about 10,600 feet, and through the Eisenhower Tunnel, and a storm can close either one. From December into March a closure can park a truck in the mountains for a day, and some drivers go around the stretch entirely.
In a Milwaukee winter, plowed snow narrows residential streets that are already lined with parked cars. A carrier that fits your block in July may not fit it in February, so have a wide main street or an open lot in mind as a backup.
