Tuesday brought a happy ending to a familiar, and usually tragic, winter story. When James Glanton, his girlfriend Christina McIntee, and the four children they took up into the hills of northern Nevada to play in the snow didn’t return that night, family feared the worst. Their Jeep had overturned on a snowy road, and the six of them survived in below zero temperatures (!) for two days before rescuers found them—cold, but unharmed.
