I had to do two years at Plattsburg AFB and the first summer only had three days the the temp went above 70 degrees.
The first winter we had 6 months the temp didn't get above 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 3 months, it stayed below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
I went to work one morning and I stepped on my brakes to test them and it was like stepping on a rock.
I had to pump them several times to get them to work.
When I arrived at the tower, the temperature was 27 degrees below zero.
Growing up in Mississippi, I didn't find that to my liking.
It only took three months there, for me to volunteer to go back to Korea for another remote.

Yes... after I was stationed at KI Sawyer, they sent me out to the Aleutians... Shemya AFB.
I must have ticked someone off at base Ops! * Grins
