We have made the trip cross-country in Feb several times. Best route is I-10 from Carolina to Calif. The worst part of that rte is thru El Paso, not because of the weather but because its mostly uphill East of El Paso and many times you also have a headwind. The traffic thru EP is horrendus. I-40 is an alternative but keep in mind that there are at least two crests in excess of 7000 ft; one between Alb and Gallup and the other around Flagstaff. Both can be bad in winter. Also, Texas is really bad about clearing roads after a storm. If it snows, you may have towait for it to melt before the Roads are plowed. Good luck.
