Travel from LA to Bakersfield, CA - what road conditions to expect right immediately (winter)?

I'll be travelling in the last week of January 2008 from LA to Bakersfield. I plan to cart the 405, 5, then 99. What kind of road conditions should I be expecting? Ice/snow/fog? Would I involve chains? I've never driven with chains before, wouldn't even know how to put them on... Would road conditions be better if I used the 14-N and 58-W instead? Thank you.

When does traffic start on i-95 heading...

It isn't probable that you will need chains; snow is not common contained by that area. Rain and fog are possibilities, however; the California central dale is notorious for wintertime fog, which can sometimes lead to cuff reaction crashes that trash dozens of vehicles. So watch out out there.

What is the statute,if nearby is one,on...


no precipitation in the forecast, no snow over the grapevine.. even if there is snow, the chp will close the slip away or pace the cars

the fog has be bad here this week, if you need to drive I5 or 99, try to be here (bakersfield and going north) contained by the late morning or afternoon so that the fog will be thinner

fog is worse north of us, bakersfield isn't that bad usually.. but when its bad here, its worse north of us (fresno, merced, visalia)

Which of the two road choices are...

You may get some snow going over the grapevine (I-5), but you don't usually have need of chains. Call information for "Road Conditions" phone number. When you call the number follow the voice prompts, you will get the hottest road and weather conditions. By the way, 14-N, 58-W has worse weather than I-5, Hwy-99.
