I just returned from a 6875 mile tour of this country in my '84. I was fortunate not to have a real schedule or fixed route, so I could go where where he snow wasn't (except for Albequerque NM dangit)

Anyway I'd suggest allowing the weather to dictate your route. And if weather and time permit I'd also suggest seeing graceland in memphis for the sheer weirdness factor, (don't forget to get your $12 coffee mug) and the OKC monument for entirely other reasons.

good luck!
