      My wipers had stopped working that morning , as I was going across a bridge, I had a Semi pass me, and completely coated the entire width of my windshield with mud. I was completely blinded with my front vision. I relied on looking out my side window to keep in my lane. It was all i could do to try and remain driving straight until the second i was off the bridge then pulled over. Scariest moment I've ever had in 50 plus years of driving. Lesson Learned. Will never go without wipers again

    Tim Hortons was a Canadian NHL hockey player that quit hockey to make and serve coffee at the arenas. Canadians love their hockey and their coffee. Plus it’s cheaper. Starbucks in the city gets a lot of Canadians, but it came along much later, pretty expensive and more hippy dippy vibe. Back in the day, we only had Tim’s and it sure beat our thermos coffee after 2 - 3 hours in the cold vehicle, or sitting at the arena. 😊❤❤ ☕️☕️☕️

    But this Montana gal is too old for winter anyway, so I call my sons for errands... and get all my groceries delivered by walmart. And while the snow flies I watch movies and pop into your channel to remind me I don't miss being 'out' in the winter anway -- life is good! 🤪

    I drove to Alaska with my mom and dog, 30 years ago. I had 2 weeks off from my job, and I know all about the long days of driving. In was July and we camped in tents! On the way back south, I made a wrong turn, and ended up on the Cassier Hwy, which was gravel back then! It rained hard for a couple of days, and washed a small section of the road out! Hwy crews worked on it, and got it passable. I was so thankful I was driving my Nissan Pathfinder! It was an experience I’ll never forget!

    Hey Ria, An old trick to get a clean rear window or windshield that is tougher in those temps is to pick up some snow in a bare hand. You hand melts it a little and makes a wet sponge to wipe the salt and gunk off some. Then you get your hands warm again asap. Keep up the great work.

    You should really invest in an oil pan warmer. They sell them up here in alaska. They are magnet pads. A battery-operated air compresser, I'm sure you have noticed cold weather deflates yoyr tires and a battery jump pack. I have all 3, and they are always in the back of my truck in the winter as well as a bunch of other safety stuff.

    Those those are great albums. They could easily make my list as well, with the addition of Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life, and Guy Clark Cold Dog Soup.
    Just found your channel today, interesting you’re a Michigan girl. Born and raised in Flint, I moved to Alaska in 2001. Just sold my house/investment property and getting ready to load my car up and road trip south around December 1, for the next year or so. I found your videos while studying the winter drive through Canada on YT - all these years in AK and I have never done the drive.
    Anyhow, thanks for posting these videos! You inspire me and also picked up a follow! All my best to you and beautiful Blue!
