I have done both in the blizzards as well as 70 across as well in the snows.
I have found 80 to be the "safest".  More stops to rest up at with better
facilities to lay over at as well.  Depending where in minnesota I would
probably go south to catch 80 and head west that way, and then depending on
how you like your mountain passes, maybe take 25 south out of denver to
albaquerque and head west again.  With the storms in  the high country right
now the souther Raton pass into NM is better than the Eisenhaur tunnel and
closures on 70 right now.
