Answer 1 :
no a good idea
Answer 2 :
I really wouldn't advise it, but if it's necessary, keep a look out for the weather and plan your trip around it.
Answer 3 :
You take I-5 from Oregon to California. Yes, there is a good chance you could encounter snow on the pass. On New Year's about three years ago people were actually stuck up there for a day or two. Not that that's normal--that was a freak storm that rolled in really fast and people got trapped. But snow and the problems that accompany it are real concerns in the passes in January. You are required under Oregon law to carry chains or have traction tires when/where posted. I think you have to carry chains in the Siskiyou pass all winter.
Answer 4 :
If you are doing that you are crazy you should take a plane if you drive its six hours of HELLLLLLLLLL ............... in the cold
