Not looking good for this trio. Rescue choppers unable to fly in the white out blizzard conditions with high winds. Recuers return saying conditions are so bad they cannot see the snow they walk on. It's really nasty at the high elevations here when storm after storm is rolling in out of the Pacific, which is happening now. The real question is time...how long can one survive in a snow cave?
I also agree...a LOT of media hype here. All the local channels have reporters standing out in the parking lot of Timberline lodge, showing us that (D-OH!) it's snowing up there.
Edit: Predictions are for 60-70 mph winds here in the Willametter Valley tomorrow...100 or so on the coast. Atop Mt. Hood? 150 or so...with lots of rain at lower elevations, blizzard condition above the freezing level.
To repeat...not looking good for this trio.
