Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan -- A snowstorm brought approximately 3 inches of snow to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Dec. 29th, 2013.
Several units at Bagram are more accustomed to warm climates and not used to large amounts of snow, 301 FW jets missed the ice storm which hit the Fort Worth area a few weeks ago, only to see this snow storm at their forward operating location.
