Never heard the term "snirt storm". I was there for basic and AIT starting in the summer and ending in the fall. Unfortunately the basic training portion took place in the summer which made funstuff like the 15 mile march and the gas chamber (in full mopp gear) oh so pleasant.
At least it was fairly nice in the mornings prior to breakfast when we had to do a couple miles every morning on the course we called "@sskicker hill". I only remember a couple rain storms in the summer (one of course happened while we were out in the field under those pretty much useless shelter halfs).
By the time I was finished with AIT (51B-carpentry/masonry specialist) in the fall, I can remember some frigid mornings.
I was there in the mid 80's when I joined the Reserves.
