TVs never turned on in tiny California town
Essex, California, with about 100 residents, lacks any TV reception though nearby hills block Las Vegas and Phoenix signals. Residents, including 13 year old Toni Smith and 19 year old worker Phil Acosta, fill free time with outdoor activities, square dancing, and reading. Options for bringing relay towers are discussed but deemed too costly for a few dozen neighbors.

The plan would involve a decision group using data from four formation providers and radios to tell workers to stay home if roads are hazardous. General Services Administration officials express cautious support, noting the plan presumes snow.
