I respect your opinion Allan .....
Port au Choix Telegram has posted pics of the house...I would say it is buried..
Good luck establishing a windbreak on rock..
House is also in a hole which does not help.
The town was clearing while the couple was away in Alberta.....
Private contractor and town loader digging them out presently.
Handouts vs helping ...do not know if we know the whole story.One has to be very careful of selective reporting ..."it would be nice if government helped" vs " the government should help"........
In my little world, given I own the necessary equipment to dig the house out,I would offer my services....it is the right thing to do.
Nothing yanks my chain more people who want something for nothing...esp due to their lack of planning....but circumstances do arise that are unavoidable and that is when it is nice to know somebody other than kin is there to lend a hand...

I agree fully with your point on selective reporting ... Seen the media do that far too often. That's why I kept my focus on the specific quote.

"its actually climate change, global warming is used wrongly by lots of folks, the entire planet is not warming only the coldest parts are ,for now"
======================
Yes, don't forget to make the term as vague and generic as possible, so that when the facts don't support your warming or cooling theory, you can switch to a more favorable one and continue to milk the system for money or whatnot. I distinctly recall global WARMING being the reason we had to abandon R12 refrigerant. Yet, last week I see an article about Antarctica? ice getting THICKER.
They say Michigan used to be under a MILE DEEP ICE PACK. Think about that. It was very recently [in geological terms]. So, do you really think the activities of humans have a big influence natural Earth transitions?

I don't think I did. My issue was over the quote 'the gov't needs to declare an emergency' .. or however it was phrased. Reporters are well known to take things out of context for the benefit of a story ... particularly when the local is isolated and there's little chance of them getting caught out. Whether or not that was the case in this story is up for debate. I was simply acknowledging that such twisting does occur. Not that it had or hadn't occurred in this case. That quote though, no matter the context, is a problem. To me at least.
