Jack, I live on I-40 in the Texas panhandle and I would suggest you go further south and take I-10 through Phoenix and enter LA from the south. That is the way we go to Pamona from here during the winter. The Texas panhandle has snow on the ground but the roads are dry right now but it is cloudy now (Saturday Afternoon) with a winter storm expected Sunday evening through Monday all day. I would expect I-40 to be closed Sunday night into Monday again. I-40 was closed all through Texas last week for almost 48 hours with snow and blowing snow. I still have snow drifts about 3 ft. deep next to my barn where my race rig sits. I did not register for Pamona this year but would have had to hire a tractor or skid loader to get my rig out if I had.
The 300 plus mile stretch of I-40 from Albq. to past Flagstaff is really rough in a bad winter and it seems like we have had a winter storm come right down I-40 about every 3 to 4 days for the past two weeks.
If you get to Amarillo TX and need some help give me a call. I have a Jeep and can come and get you, but the rig is another story. Home Phone 806-655-9216.
Stay Safe
