I don't know about "shut-down", but I would definitely take chains along
for the Siskyous (like Mt. Shasta).  My parents used to always drive to
Long Beach for Xmas, and we always hit snow someplace.  I remember once in
Portland getting trapped on a drawbridge and the dang thing had to rise
with our car stuck in the snow on it!  It all worked out...
       
God luck!
