Do they people of newer generations still call it “Chinook winds”? My Mom talked of them since I was a kid.

Couldn't say. We moved from Montana to Vandenberg AFB in CA.

There we had the Santa Anas. Same type weather system except they blew hot instead of cold. It seems the air force made strong winds a criteria for locating missile bases..

A blizzard in June? Did Custer had a SUV to ruin the planet back then? I thought they had honouring horses...

Growing up in New England, I loved when I heard Bob Steele on WTIC tell me that my school was cancelled..🤓

A friend has a son posted to Minot air base. Temps have to be really low before they can stop work on those metal planes.

Not sure. Brandon needs to send that war hero Johnny Kerry up there to measure it!

April 1990 we had at least 18 or more inches of snow fall in one day up at Grand Forks. Had a mishap with a vehicle that got stuck out in the Minuteman missile field so I had to fly out to the site in a HH-1H chopper. The snow and surroundings were so bad from the previous day’s weather I had to have the pilot hover a couple feet above a farm field and I jumped out. Landed in snow over my knees.

you know we are in a Maunder Minimum. You know what that means? We’re not talking weather and days.
