After being stuck inside a snowed-in cabin for nearly two months a couple is finally getting to experience the outside world.
The couple, whose names were not released, and their dog had been stuck inside the cabin in Northern California since Dec. 6 when heavy snow and downed trees wouldn’t let them leave, the California Highway Patrol’s Valley Division air operations told NBC News.
The emergency responders got a call from the Sierra County Sheriff’s Office after the couple had reached out asking for help as their supplies dwindled.
The cabin was in a remote area where roads were blocked, so the highway patrol had to fly a helicopter in to rescue the couple and the dog. The CHP shared video of the rescue to Facebook.
Officers landed the helicopter near the cabin, despite strong winds. The couple and dog were taken to a safe location, CHP said, according to KMPH.
