In the early 70s I did an Army Reserve “summer camp” at what was then Camp Drum,NY. While there I got talking to a regular Army 1LT who had “wintered over” the previous winter.He told me that there were many parts of the camp where they didn’t bother to plow and said that buildings in those areas were completely buried in snow.
Fort Drum sometimes has to send out its tanks to pull the snowplows out of drifts of fields where they got stuck.
