Two people who had been "snowed in" at a Northern California cabin since early December were rescued by helicopter Tuesday after a nearly two-month ordeal, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol's Valley Division Air Operations received a call from the Sierra County Sheriff's Office requesting help rescuing the couple and their pet dog after they started running out of supplies.
The couple had been stuck indoors since Dec. 6 after downed trees and heavy snow kept them locked in, according to the state agency.
