This stretch of 101 is usually not bad during Winter months. My dad used to take this route to our place on the Southern Oregon Coast in Winter to avoid Siskiyou Pass (4,000+ feet elevation). Only once did he encounter snow or ice on the coast route, but it does happen.
If you monitor the road condition sites on the Internet, you'll be fine. Any unfavorable driving conditions are usually not long-lived. As stated in previous post, slides are often an issue. One area of concern is between Brookings and Gold Beach (OR).
