Just make sure you have chains in the car and you're fine. The weather is really unpredictable, could be completely dry road or could be 3 feet of snow. They are pretty good about plowing but we get warm snow here often which gets mashed into the slickest sheet of ice. Completely doable drive but just be prepared.

Also in the Cascades it’s super common for the snow to be A-OK at dawn, but then slightly melt during the day and then become a sheet of ice once the sun begins to set in the afternoon. If I had six arms I could count the number of Subaru’s, SUV’s and pickups I’ve seen stuck in ditches and snowbanks due to inadequate tires.
