in the winters of 1961 and 62, I was training troops in Colorado at Camp Hale on the continental divide at Leadville.
much of it dealt with artillery.
at -20 we fired a battery of 105 howitzers....they froze in the open position after 1 round....we finished the day doing our training by hollering "BOOM" each time the guns were to be fired....
the lows at night stopped on the thermometer at -50 because that was the bottom of the scale------don't know what the temp actually was....
