>I only have a Honda Civic, so I'm trying to stay more towards the south to reduce the insane snow chances.to get over to the deserts of NM and colorado
To get to the desert, you're going to have to cross some mountain passes (the mountains are what block out the precipitation that allowed the deserts to form).
Seriously consider the badlands in winter though. You should have a set of winter tires anyways for the snow
