OK all you heavy flyer's get ready, you are now going to learn what the term winter means. -45 degrees with a 60 mile and hour wind/ tighten up your crupper.

Yeah, when it’s winter in North Dakota, it’s damn cold.

That’s what I was thinking. We were authorized to wear our parkas off duty. And block heater plug-ins were provided to all base personnel. Even remember some civilians leaving their car run during an entire shift. Also became familiar with the use of jumper cables and starter fluid.
Ah but the hunting and fishing opportunities were great.

Having been stationed in Alaska and then later on in North Dakota, I'll take Alaska. I still have no idea why people voluntarily live in North Dakota.
