based on the extreme wind and heavy snow in the Dakotas -- the snow drifts have to be massive in certain locales--- on the order of 10-15'. A storm that Dakotains will be talking about for some time and that ranks right up there with the all time greats... Though most reading didn't see the extremes --- this storm is certainly one to remember for weather geeks.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

A "Christmas Miracle" in the Grand Canyon...a lady was rescued during the snowstorm that hit the mountains of AZ...

Fantastic when it's a happy ending, eh? They made a film about that young fam that had a similar experience back in (idk?) 1990 crossing some remote regions of N Nevada mountains. In that story, the husband hiked while momma and baby hid in a cave and fought off Cougars and such. Iirc, that bliz already was hitting when they got to her and the baby via a Snowcat. Those folks did suffer a lot of frost-bite though. Thx for sharing!
