Driving on the freeways, which are cleared quickly in the winter, isn’t really any different than other seasons. There are plenty of cross country routes that use highways which aren’t cleared as quickly, especially in hilly or mountainous areas, that can be fun to take for scenic routes.
Not everyone who travels across the country sticks to interstates.
