You shouldn't have any real problems if you stick to autoroutes/main roads. I see you go via Colmar, I'd get there on the main route [autoroute via Strasbourg] rather than 'over the top' [Nancy to Colmar.Otherwise, no probs

My other suggestion is, if you have a little time to spare, is o go via Luxembourg. It costs about an hour [max] in travel, but is toll free, and you can also fill up in Luxembourg at the services with very cheap fuel

We came back from Italy end October and it was snowing heavily on the motorway either side of the Gotthard tunnel. I recall seeing a sign that said winter tyres were needed from November onwards and read somewhere that you can be prosecuted if you even hold up the traffic due to being ill prepared. Despite the snow ploughs and having a 4 x 4 I found the motorway quite treacherous - best to check when the winter tyre requirement goes to.
