James and Jennifer were driving from Nevada to Idaho with their five-month-old son. Shortly after their leaving home it began to snow. The snow was soon so 1 that it became a blizzard (暴风雪). The blizzard went on for many hours. By the time it was over, there was about 1.5 meters deep of snow on the road and it was 2 to drive. They looked around for a house to stay in, but they could see nothing. They looked for another 3 but there wasn't one to travel on. They had to stay where they were. They stayed there for five days. They had very little to eat or drink. They ate some cookies they had in the car, and they even had snow for water. Jennifer was able to feed her baby herself.
After five days , they knew they could no longer stay in their car. James made a large4 in the snow for Jennifer and the baby to stay in, and he started the long walk to get help. In 22 hours he walked over 45 kilometers. At last he got to the town of Vya. James was very tired and could not even speak, but he was able to tell the people in the town5 Jennifer and his son were. The people in the town hurried to save Jennifer and her baby. When they found them, the baby was crying loudly. They took them to hospital, where the doctors looked after them.
Many people thought it was a miracle (奇迹) that the family didn't die in such a blizzard.
