The Ontario Provincial Police responded shortly before 10 p.m. near Robin's Point Road in the township of Tay, Ont. for reports of a snowmobile that had gone through the ice.

I stood on the edge of a cliff in Howth, clipped into a harness, listening as a Coast Guard officer calmly checked the ropes that were about to lower me down. Below, waves broke against the rocks at Whitewater Brook while walkers passed along the paths near us, largely unaware of the training exercise taking place just metres away.

Of the 15 officers who died in the line of duty while working for Enforcement and Removal Operations, the ICE branch charged with detaining unauthorized migrants within the interior of the US, all but two died of Covid. One deportation officer, Brian Beliso, died of a heart attack in 2020 during a foot chase. The other deportation officer to die of something other than Covid, Lorenzo Roberto Gomez, experienced heat stress during a training exercise in El Paso, Texas, leading to hospitalization.

Four skiers were killed in avalanches in the Tyrol region. Three of them died in a massive avalanche near the St Anton ski resort, officials said. Two of the victims were recovered from the snow but could not be saved, and the third died in the hospital, a police spokesman said. A German skier died in an avalanche in Nauders. He had been skiing off-piste with his 16-year-old son, who survived with serious injuries, police said.

When skier Michael Harris found himself buried under an avalanche at Stevens Pass in Washington, he more or less accepted his fate, understanding that as he was skiing alone, the potential for rescue was slim. However thanks to Apple's Find My iPhone, Harris' was able to see that he hadn't moved for hours and contacted the Stevens Pass ski patrol for assistance.

I don't know who invented this crazy challenge, but the idea is to put someone in a carved-out ice bowl and see if they can get out. Check it out! The bowl is shaped like the inside of a sphere, so the higher up the sides you go, the steeper it gets. If you think an icy sidewalk is slippery, try going uphill on an icy sidewalk. What do you do when faced with a problem like this? You build a physics model, of course.

"The current threshold for the City of Boston to declare a cold emergency is one day or more of -10°F or below observed wind chill," Wu said in a statement.

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

Two skiers at Palisades Tahoe, California, spotted the tips of skis protruding from deep snow on February 18 between KT-22 and Olympic Lady. They stopped and dug out a skier found upside down and buried in the deep powder, saving his life. The intense video of the rescue was shared on Threads to stress the need for skiing with a buddy.

Wind chill is a measure of how quickly bodies lose heat when you combine low temperatures with high winds. And wind chill conditions can be dangerous. "The stronger the winds [and] the colder it is, the more likely you are to develop frostbite in a short amount of time or hypothermia," says Jessica Lee of the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center.

Each is among a growing number of people - at least 10, as of Tuesday - who died after being exposed to the bitter cold that has persisted in New York City since late last Friday. Their causes of death are still under investigation, but some showed signs of having succumbed to hypothermia. Officials said several victims were believed to have been living on the streets. At least six of the fatalities came early Saturday, as the temperature in the city fell to 9 degrees (minus 13 degrees Celsius).

"They were just screaming, telling me to help them," Cheyenne Hangaman told The Associated Press. "And I watched all of them struggle, struggle to stay above the water. I watched all of them fight."

MILAN -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will have a security role during the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Games, according to information shared with local media by sources at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. The Associated Press independently confirmed the information with two sources at the embassy. The sources who confirmed ICE participation Tuesday said that federal ICE agents would support diplomatic security details and would not run any immigration enforcement operations.

When I spoke with emergency management officials last year, they all mentioned the same frustrating scenario. People ignore storm warnings until the precipitation starts falling, then suddenly everyone rushes out at once. The roads become congested with anxious drivers, accidents spike, and stores run out of essentials just when people need them most. But here's what really gets meteorologists worked up about this pattern. Modern weather forecasting has become incredibly accurate, especially for major winter storms.

Provincial police is urging Simcoe, Ont., residents to shelter-in-place while officers respond to an active incident involving potentially multiple armed suspects. In a news release Saturday, the Ontario Provincial Police said Colborne Street N., Union Street, Young Street and Kent Street are closed for an ongoing investigation. The OPP did not say what the active incident or ongoing investigation is related to.

Residents in the Greater Toronto Area are in for another chilly weekend with warnings issued for risk of frostbite, according to Environment Canada. The national weather agency issued a yellow weather alert Saturday morning for wind chills of -25 to -30 for Saturday morning. Those frigid temperatures are expected to come back again Saturday night and stick around until Sunday morning. However, there will be some sunny breaks on Saturday with a high of -11 C that will feel like -19 C in the afternoon.

Emergency crews in New Hampshire made a speedy rescue Thursday when they had to save nearly 60 people who were stuck on a malfunctioning ski lift. Fire officials from Lyme, Hanover, and Thetford, along with police officers from Lyme and Orford, responded to the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme Center to help the Dartmouth Ski Patrol after a lift malfunctioned, the Lyme Fire Department said on Facebook. Responders from the three fire departments quickly began bringing the stranded skiers down from their chairs.
