Snowmakers survive epic snowstorm in Santa Barbara
Joseph Vowels and Joseph Vittini, two snowmaking experts, became snowbound for days while pursuing a jetty project at Santa Barbara. After seeding clouds near Figueroa Mountain they found themselves buried in four feet of drifting snow with their equipment, forced to radio for help. They survived by rationing food and warmth, rescued by a party that found them exhausted but safe.
