High winds, low visibility. This video was taken between Coldfoot Alaska and Yukon Crossing. Dangerous driving conditions. I wouldn't normally film while driving, but we were barely at a crawl. I got stranded on the road several hours after this video was taken, and wasn't able to get moving again until the plows made it to me at around 8:30am the next day. Luckily I had warm gear and brought extra fuel. I had a range of 20 miles when the plow got to me. I could barely keep the car running because the blowing snow had gotten packed into all areas under my car and in the engine compartment, including my air intake. I had multiple electrical faults, and my transmission cooling lines were crushed. It was very much like when water freezes in a crack in a rock, and breaks it apart. My serpentine belt was making a lot of noise because it was close to snapping. Walked away from the whole thing with a rough running car and a little frost nip on my fingers and toes. Happy to have made it. If you travel the dalton highway in winter, make sure you have plenty of warm gear, extra fuel, and a CB radio to communicate with other drivers. Always yield to trucks, and communicate with them when necessary. They know the road, and if they give you advice, it's probably in your best interest to follow it.
