Helicopters airdrop hay to NorCal cows stranded in snow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:11:37 GMT

HUMBOLT COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) -- As winter weather continues pummeling Humboldt County with precipitation, herds of cattle are left stranded in snow without access to food. Several feet of deep snow and downed trees blocked local ranchers from reaching their cows, and the ranchers alerted county officials of the dire situation. "We’ve had some unprecedented weather over the last two weeks, and we’ve received multiple reports of cattle dying off because ranchers cannot get to their cows due to impassable roadways," Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. "These cattle are an economic driver, they’re starving and they’re calving right now. So all those things necessitate some drastic measures."Honsal said, "We won’t know until the snow melts how many cattle have died due to these conditions. But I know this for certain, if we don’t act, there’s going to be way more that do die and it will be a catastrophe for our county."A herd of cattle is seen on a snowy mountain. (Image c...

Perry – played by Matthew Rhys – is no longer a celebrated celebrity lawyer defending the innocent. Della Street (Juliet Rylance) is now his partner – and a passionate lesbian.  Paul Drake (Chris Chalk) is Black, a family man and Perry muscle.“Updating the show is one of the great things that we’ve been able to do. Hopefully, everyone sees a little of themselves in the piece,” said Shea Whigham who plays Perry’s tough ally Pete Strickland.“Pete is probably Perry’s closest confidant, the only one that Perry can really tell everything to,” Whigham, 54, said on a call from LA. “They’re thick as thieves. At the start of Season 2, I think Pete is really searching for meaning.”That’s because as the Great Depression rages, Strickland has a wife and kids to support which means working for the assistant Attorney General who threatens his loyalty to Perry.“Pete’s at the bottom o...

Attention public transit entrepreneurs and innovators: MBTA customers are up for grabs.The T’s trainload of troubles continues to roll on – slowly. Each week brings one or more stories of accidents, service shutdowns, power outages, or subway cars falling off things (tracks or delivery trucks). Is it any wonder that T ridership hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels?As State House News reported,  while bus and commuter rail networks performing better than the system as a whole and drivers returning to the roads,  total ridership remains only a bit more than half of pre-pandemic levels.T officials acknowledge that ridership dip was in part the fallout of service disruptions and a month-long Orange Line shutdown. MBTA Chief Financial Officer Mary Ann O’Hara rang the alarm during a subcommittee meeting Thursday:  “If actual fare revenue growth does not keep pace with the growth assumed in the established fare revenue scenarios, there’s a risk fare re...
