1) Portland can get hit with freezing rain/sleet
2) I-5 begins to climb south of Eugene, and can be icy/snowy around Roseburg
3) The mountains at the OR/CA border others have mentioned
4) The stretch from Redding, CA to Sacremento can get very dense fog AND
freezing temps AND nuts who still drive at 70+ MPH
Happy Trail
