I was in Da Nang on a coastal plain.. Just north was the DMZ across highlands that naturally separated tne north from the south. During the winter months it got pretty chilly, especially since we didn’t have blankets and our poncho liners always seemed to ‘disappear’. On cold nights when not on a flight, we’d sleep in utilities, covered by Nomex and a mosquito net. Never saw snow, no skim ice either. Requisitioned blankets but never got one in two years.

The area in the article is farther west and north, Tai and Meo and Man country; the Montagnards. The region is wilderness.

“Did you every see snow there ?”

I was in VN in the 60’s, then lived/worked in VN in the 90’s. I suggested to my VN girlfriend that it must have snowed in VN somewhere at some time in the past. She was very sure that there has never been any snow in VN.

Of course, she also thought I was going to marry her. Go figure.
