When a Rankin Inlet family was snowed into their home March 16, these volunteer shovellers braved blizzard conditions to clear the front entrance of their home. From left, Philip Ugjuk, Paul-Elijah Ugjuk, Jason Pilakapsi and Amos Ugjuk were among many digging out from a storm that brought heavy winds and snow to most of the Kivalliq region. A blizzard warning remains in effect for the region March 17. (PHOTO BY NOEL KALUDJAK)
