Nebraska in January is not picnic event weather. Just a few miles north are the Dakota's that get colder than coastal Alaska this time of year. I did some time in Rapid City and Ft Pierre one year so I like to follow the weather up there. They have to put up with some crazy snow storms on flat ground. Everyone has emergency blankets and candles in their cars to stay warm if they get stuck and they are smart to do that.
I had to go TDY to all the Air Force ICBM wings in the dead of winter one time. Let me tell you, Minot in January is NO FUN!! Neither was Montana or Wyoming for that matter. They stick those certain bases in places no one wants to be.

Yep. Ironically I have heard that these terrible duty locations are actually some of the most fun for the troops stationed there. You have no choice but to get very close with your fellow Airmen, and figure out unique ways to entertain yourself. Usually involves lots of alcohol and sex.
