When is the worst time (season) to travel I-5 from Sacramento to Seattle?
I need to know when the snow season is along I-5 from Sacramento to Seattle. I know the winter is a bad time to travel in any mountains, but what month does the snow start to fall along this path?

Answer 1 :
Definitely in the winter - traffic, snow (as you pass the southern parts of oregon), lots of rain (oregon valley)
Answer 2 :
Snow can begin falling as early as November. It doesn't usually become a problem until around December, but there have been exceptions. DOT usually does a good job keeping the area passable since it is the major North-South route, but sometimes nature throws them a "curve ball".
Answer 3 :
I was born in CA and lived there till I was 41. Check out weather.com.... you really don't want to travel I-5 during the months they get fog - and I mean fog that comes from all directions, including the ground. I've had to drive it at a mear 5 mph during those times and most folks will just pull over and sit on the side of the road and wait for the sun to come up.
