All depends on weather. You're a snow belt child, so you know the gig with roads.
1) I take the exit at Batavia and cut the corner through Mt. Morris, which saves 20 minutes and is scenic. It's well maintained during foul weather. Best route, IMO. You can possibly cut some additional time off it by taking 83 into Baltimore and then I-95 to The Beltway. Much depends on rush hours, and I suspect 4pm is gonna suck no matter where you are in Thanksgiving Wednesday. Just make sure you are in the left lane when you get to Frederick.
2) Not on a bet. Maybe in the summer.
3) I am told it is somehow faster. I prefer the US 15 corridor anyway.
