Landed in Yakutsk at -45°C. Winter independent travel here isn't realistic — local operators run Kolyma Highway trips for a fraction of what foreign agencies quote (~$3,000 for 9 days vs $6-10k). MIR card worked in even the tiniest village shops. Long stretches of the road have zero signal; every overnight stop had wifi.
