“The structures where these folks would be are completely destroyed and covered with about eight inches of snow right now, so our ability to be able to attempt to search and recover from those structures is very much impeded. … We hope that within the next couple days we can help families and perhaps recover remains or confirm that they’re not there.

As soon as we have credible, hard information, we will be releasing it.”The sheriff said Saturday that officials are prioritizing getting people back into their homes.
