The Jan of 85 "outbreak" had Me Stationed in Ft. Knox KY. With broken heat in our Barracks.. BRUTAL.. We had to go & start & keep our APC's tanks etc, every 6 hours or so, cranked up to be "mission ready".. Many below ZERO Days & nights.. I mostly stayed in My Recovery vehicle, running, a M-578.. To keep warm, I camped out in this bad boy.. BOT: My Local NWS is calling for snow Showers in the AM on the 21st..

We both learned something.. I've "always" wondered what causes Storms to "back-build" or "training",, in some cases,, I never took the time to investigate..
