There is no way to predict what the weather will be on that route until the morning of Feb 15.

Contrary to popular opinion the more southerly route >I-55S >I-44W >I-40 to Ash Fork AZ is not necessarily warmer or more snow free then the standard routing of I-80W >SR 101S

The proof of that is that a couple days ago Flagstaff AZ got hit with a couple of feet of snow.

Toss a set of chains in your trunk , carry winter survival /safety gear on board and enjoy your trip.
