Dad, 3 Kids Alive After 3 Days in Snow

By JULIET WILLIAMS, Associated Press Writer

(12-19) 15:58 PST Paradise, Calif. (AP) --

A father and three children who vanished on a Christmas tree-cutting trip in the Northern California mountains were found alive Wednesday after huddling in a culvert for warmth during three days of heavy snow.

"Our hearts are all full right now," said Cory Stahl, who closed his pest control business so his employees could help look for the father, Frederick Dominguez, their co-worker. "It's a very merry Christmas now."

A California Highway Patrol helicopter crew spotted Dominguez atop a small bridge and landed nearby, sinking into 2 feet of snow, flight officer David White said. The family had taken shelter in a culvert beneath the bridge and stomped "help" in the snow, White said.

15. I was thinking the same thing.

Nothing like a dead, frozen family to get one in the Christmas spirit. :(
