I spent time at Loring AFB working ECM on B-52s. Late 70s, following a hot
humid tour in Thailand.
Winter was typically -20 deg with wind chills down to -65 and one night down
to -109 deg. Flight line work was not pleasant at those temps.
Took nearly all summer for the mountain of plowed snow in the parking lot to
melt.
SAC Sucks !

Sounds about par for Loring AFB in Caribou, Me. My last CG duty station was
the
LORAN station in Caribou. They have WINTER up there!

Been there, done that for 3 consecutive years. I know a couple radio
intercept operators, one Morse and one non-Morse who came down from
Elmendorf AFB, Alaska (Anchorage) and when they experienced the onset of
winter at Minot and the -40 and worse temps wanted to go back to Alaska
because the climate was milder.
Our Thule, Greenland base is where you go to fined worse climate than
Minot. (not much worse.)
