On this date in 2007, the Colorado Civil Air Patrol searched for stranded travelers and cattle following a massive blizzard.

An excerpt from the Washington Times:

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) sent six planes into the air yesterday over Colorado's Kit Carson County, where there had been reports of more people snowbound along Interstate 70, even though that highway was reopened Sunday after two days, patrol 1st Lt. Steve Hamilton said. On Sunday, CAP crews spotted two stranded vehicles with five persons near the Kansas state line, along with several trucks whose crews chose to stay with their rigs, Lt. Hamilton said.
