Thanks for the feedback. I think I-40 would appear to be the best bet. Even heading down I-5 from the Bay area toward Bakersfield, its not a pure south drive; definitely some east in there, so the amount out of the way relative to I-80 would probably be about 200-225 miles each way.
I was checking the average weather on some of the I-40 stops for Jan 1. Last year must've been real bad. In OKC it was a high of 20 and a low of minus 4. That's pretty far south for a below zero temp.
