But of course, with these being "cold-related" tragedies they aren't quite
garnering the same mainstream media attention.

Death Toll Rises In San Bernardino: People Found Frozen In Their Homes
The power is out, thermometers read below zero, and the snow is up to the
rafters - and nobody seems to care.
The neighbors of 93-year-old Elinor "Dolly" Avenatti found her bundled up in a
chair in front of her fireplace, which had gone cold - dead. Air Force veteran
and religious man, Alden Park Thayer, 85, died at his Lake Arrowhead home as
the snow drifts piled up to 14 feet outside his windows. His daughter, Lisa
Thayer, was by side as he passed singing "How Great Thou Art." The roads
remained impassable, and emergency officials said it would be at least week
until they could retrieve Alden's body.
These are just two tragedies that have befallen the San Bernardino mountains
alone during a two-week onslaught of record-setting snow-which total at least
eleven, according to authorities - perhaps many more.
It remains unclear exactly how many more lives have been lost due to blizzard-
related factors, such as blocked roads, downed power lines or critical medical
care that could not be summoned. At a City Council meeting this week in Big
Bear Lake, city officials said that more than seven feet of snow had fallen
there in 15 days; hospital officials said that "tragedies" had happened because
of the weather, citing access to dialysis treatments as a particular concern.
"I'm sure they haven't found everyone yet," said Rhea-Frances Tetley, who spoke
of her neighbor across the street who died last week in her home and was not
found for days. "I only was just able to get out of my house yesterday
afternoon, and it took two strong men to dig out the driveway," she said.
Gary DeFrench, a contractor in Crestline, tells of a similar fate for his
neighbor, a woman in her 80s, who froze to feath last week. "Some of those
people are on roads that are very narrow and way out in the boonies," he said,
adding, "I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, so I've seen snow storms. But nothing like
this. This is unbelievable."
Authorities are keen to list the deaths as "natural." The sheriff's department,
which also serves as the county coroner's office, said there was little
evidence to suggest that the victims died because they might have been trapped
in their homes.
But other snowbound locals have called this ridiculous. "That's absolutely not
true," said Carola Hauer, a Running Springs resident and psychologist, adding
that she hoped officials and communities would learn and be better prepared in
the future.
"We probably should have raised the emergency flag a little sooner," she said.
The mounting cold-related tragedies-of which I've only documented a small
percentage of-come as yet another winter storm barrels into California,
threatening to deliver feet of additional snow to the higher elevations, with
heavy falls forecast across the Midwest and Northeast, too:
