Omg, Moogs. Those cars that went 'over the edge' during the avalanche... do they suspect that people were still 'in' them?
How horrible such a thing would be.
I do feel so sorry for those poor cows stuck out there in four to ten feet of accumulated/drifted snow, freezing and starving.
I saw a photo of one lone cow who had beaten a path around an outlying hay shed - a place that I think contained hay bales, but that was inaccessible for the rancher (and for the cow). You could just tell that he didn't understand why he was being allowed to starve, as he looked up at the aircraft taking the pic.
I think the reports of polar bears drowning out at sea because of the lack of pack ice is very sad.
