Not to quibble....but I-5 is the least snowy, least icy route aside from the coast roads 1 and 101. Inland routes involve higher and more frequent passes. Sometimes it's possible to skirt a storm system by heading a ways inland, but usually what happens to me when I try this is I avoid the nice, warm rain and fog in favor of cold sleet, snow and black ice. This is fine, if it's what you want; not so fun on a bike.
Now you know everything I know. Have fun!
