Get a buddy to go with you. Someone to talk to and maybe help drive a bit to break it up. Watch the WSDOT website also. https://wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountainpasses/Snoqualmie

If in doubt about the conditions on Snoqualmie Pass, just stay off the road. It is fine 90% of the time, but if you don't want to risk it just grab a hotel room at Ellensburg and wait for things to improve. Looking at the forecast from Jan 14, 2023, things are going to turn to snow after the current period of relative warm weather ends Sunday night.

A primer on the pass restrictions: there are 4 levels: "No Restrictions", "Traction Tires Advised", "Traction Tires Required", "Chains Required". You are good on the first two, just follow the speed limits that are posted. The second two in your case I would advise not risking it, if you are inexperienced and not properly equipped.
