Default OT-Hey, Bob, check it out! Who needs Texas when you have Valdez!

This is great! "Texas? We don' need no stenkin' Texas!"
I heard that they were going to send their crack rescue group down to help Atlanta as soon as she gets back from the Heliskiing Finals.

Oh, and did we mention it's covering the only road out of town? And that the snow has dammed up the river behind it, creating a giant lake?

In a sign that Valdez would definitely be a good place to wait out any impending Apocalypses, residents are primarily concerned at the moment with whether the avalanches will interrupt their preferred form of recreation, heli-skiing (yep, just like it sounds, folks). They also note that, in the meantime, supplies can still make it into town by air or by water.
