From the US, how far north in Canada can I drive a regular car in the summer?

The bugs aren’t too bad in May up in YK, but you run the risk of being stuck because the ferry can’t run. I can’t speak for Whitehorse bugs but I understand it’s about the same.

Winter in Yellowknife is beautiful. I miss it. I don’t miss the cold or the gas bill from the Command-Start warming up my car every few hours, or the shovelling, but I miss how it looks and how it made me feel.

I don’t know about that, Bryan Ekers. I never once have had snow tires on any vehicle I’ve owned, neither have my parents, or my sister and her husband. I think snow tires are more common out East than they are on the Prairies or in the North. Our snow is very dry and packs easily, which is very different from the snow we get in (IME) Southern Ontario (Kingston) and here, Baltimore.

Kingston has all the potholes of the North, though.

Not where I lived (Canal du Nord, on the base).
