I'll have to tell her that people who don't keep a coat in the car get turned back at the border.
Hahahaaaaa. Yes! It is a little-known fact but we do. XD Even in summer. It is Alaska, after all!
That reminds me of a story a friend told me once, about a time he and his dad drove from Alaska to somewhere in the Lower 48 states in the winter. There was a blizzard in Washington and when they hit Snoqualmie Pass, in the middle of the state, there was a trooper checkpoint where they were stopping cars, asking if they had tire chains and winter gear, and turning them around if they didn't. And he and his dad were like, what are we going to do? We don't have chains with us! Well, they got up to the front of the line, showed their Alaska driver's licenses, and the trooper didn't even ASK. Just waved them through.
(He said the actual driving conditions turned out to be pretty easy and they didn't need chains at all.)
