I didn't realize the first few years of my life that not everyone has seasons like Alaskans. My scariest experience in the cold was driving 365 miles home. The temperature for about half the drive ranged from -40F to -45F. To give you a taste of what that looks like, look at this link to a video taken of my hometown. I was pretty terrified the whole time. I wasn't feeling too bad until I hit the -40 temperatures and lost a hubcap to the wind ( losing it sounds more intense than it was - it was because I had gotten the tire worked on the day before and the hubcap must have just not been put back correctly). There's about a 1 hour stretch of the highway that's rough, and my car started squeaking every time I went over bumps in the road. It was like 1 hour of having those annoying little dogs constantly running around with a squeaky toy in its mouth.
But I love home.
