Two people who were looking after a cabin in a remote part of California were rescued this week after being snowed in for two months and facing a dwindling food supply, officials said Friday.
The unidentified couple called the Sierra County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday morning, asking to be rescued from a cabin in a northwestern part of the county, about two hours north of Sacramento.
The couple told officials they were stranded there after a winter storm in December left behind significant snowfall and fallen trees, according to a news release.
