I would say gruesome might be an understatement. The winters were utterly brutal.
I left Grand Forks in 1967, to join the USAF. One of the reasons I stayed in the USAF, was because, when I came back from Vietnam, they would have discharged me at the port, and the only place I could have gone, was Grand Forks, and I wasn’t having any of it. So, they sent me to Texas. (Del Rio. Yeah, THAT Del Rio, that was in the news) 😆🤗 Now, my son is a USAF plot. 👍
