95. OH yes
and I remember the oil pan heater, engine block heater and interior heater assembly we had to rig up for the cars. To plug into the hbo's that sometimes were lined up in the parking lots like speakers at an old drive theater? I'll never forget the winter I saw that was stuck at -58 for, I swear, weeks. Strange life, wasn't it? Different. ha I remember getting in the car, at -20, and feeling like it was warm, compared to the outside -58. And the square tire effect? TOO odd :)

I can't imagine flying there, not that I can imagine flying anyway, but as I recall, the best pilots came from the area. Especially the one's that landed those planes on the island base. I swear, when I was on the island for a couple of weeks, in the space of about half an hour, I saw blowing snow, and ten minutes of bright sun, and it did that again a few time, and then the real blowing snow started. It was really something different!

And...I imagine if the greedy monsters keep winning elections, we'll be some of the last people to remember how the area was. It's sad, but, there's so much to be sad about anyway.
