How long is the drive from Manhattan to Chicago?

Gmaps estimates it to be around 12 hours. I plan on stopping for food (and would like to check out any sights along the way). Around now in early december, are the roads slick and dangerous (i.e. can I drive at speeds of 70-75 on the freeways/highways)? If anyone has driven from Manhattan to Chicago and stayed somewhere in-between, could you recommend a lovely/scenic/interesting/arty town or city for a mid-point stay-over? ThanksHow long is the drive from Manhattan to Chicago?
It is about 14-16 hours and the speed limit all the way is 65mph. If you want to get off the beaten path, once in PA, go north up to route 6 and follow that westward. There anre many small towns along the way that would suit your site seeing needs. Warren PA is one of them as it has a beautiful dam on the Alleghany river and several hotel/motels to choose from. DO NOT stay at the Holiday Inn as they have a problem with bed bugs and that is from and emplyee there.
