Too bad no one has taken any video footage of this rescue mission. It would be hillarious to watch. As much or even more than watching one of those "US or UK celebreties" checking into a rehab clinic over the weekend and than declaring on Monday they are healthy as a penguin. ***A total of 442 fishermen, many of them drunk****

It isn't actually stuck as badly as it looks, it was driven into a snow bank on one side rather than the whole thing buried to its nose. Naturally, I chose the most dramatic picture. It took a bit of pulling out though. And two young Russian men trying to pull a car out of the snow is an example of reckless idiocy which might go some way to explain their high mortality rate. The kid isn't mine, of course. He was just helping his Dad shovel some snow out of their driveway. He was awfully cute though. Yeah, that’s my Landcruiser in the snow.

And it looks like your lack of snow earlier this winter has been made up now. Lot's of snow for you now. Stay warm. Not cool to get caught on a chunk of ice floating away!

I hope that wasn't your SUV that is stuck in the snow. I'm guessing it took some persistent effort to get it THAT deep and at that angle in the snow. I'm guessing that snow-cats or snow-mobiles are handy there this time of year. Frosty! I hope that wasn’t your SUV that is stuck in the snow.
