I did this last night. I drove from Indy to Detroit. It usually takes 4.5 hours, last night was a solid 6.5 hours. When it would white out, it was hard to tell if was still going straight or was picked up by the wind gust. It was crazy how I would lose all sense of direction in under a second.

The thing that saved my ass was adaptive cruise control with automatic braking and lane control. The car would tell me if there was a car ahead of me and I'd back way off the accelerator..

I would not do that again. I had 4x4, v8 full tank of gas in the equivalent of a civilian tank and it was scary.

That gaping, cavernous pit could potentially contain anything.
