Avy Kaufman's name should be familiar to anyone who reads credits, as we do. She has cast scores of films and television series, from The Ice Storm to Succession, and launched many a career along the way. You can hear the pride in her voice when she recounts how she brought young Haley Joel Osment to meet the star and director of The Sixth Sense. Recent credits include some of the most talked-about television shows of our time: Mare of Easttown, Under the Banner of Heaven, Billions, and Fellow Travelers, which could earn her a fourth Emmy Award. (She has three: one for Damages and two for Succession). Avy wears her passion on her sleeve and that makes for great conversation.

Send Bite Me a Text!A devastating ice storm transforms into a profound lesson about resilience, community, and finding comfort in the chaos when nature unleashes its fury. What began as routine storm preparations quickly evolved into a harrowing ordeal filled with falling trees, powerless nights, and unexpected moments of connection.Living with my 93-year-old father during this crisis revealed both vulnerability and strength. Unable to use his usual entertainment sources and restlessly wanting to help despite physical limitations, he showed me how isolation affects our elders – especially when he admitted having no nearby friends to turn to. Yet together we found unexpected joy in adversity: heating pizza on the propane fireplace, wearing toques indoors, and sharing stories by flashlight while rationing my precious cannabis supply.The storm illuminated humanity's dual nature. While some frustrated citizens berated exhausted hydro workers, others exemplified extraordinary kindness. Team Rubicon – veterans volunteering for disaster response – cleared massive debris from my father's property without charge. Neighbors we'd never met checked on each other, friends opened their homes for showers and phone charging, and workers from multiple provinces labored tirelessly to restore power.This experience reinforced why I created the Bite Me Cannabis Club – because community matters profoundly, especially during life's storms. Like cannabis itself, human connection provides essential comfort in challenging times. Join our community at JoinBiteMe.com and share your own stories of finding light in unexpected places.Support the show Visit the website for full show notes, free dosing calculator, recipes and more.

A few days after a massive ice storm rocked northern lower Michigan, many thousands remain without power while crews from power companies, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and other state and local agencies continue the cleanup and rebuilding process.Bill Wahl, MDOT North Region associate engineer for operations, who is coordinating department efforts, joins the podcast to provide an update on the recovery.Also joining is James Lake, MDOT North Region media relations specialist, who assists the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) with communications. He talks about why falling ice necessitated closing the bridge three times in three days, including a record 30-hour period.Wahl and Lake grew up in the region and neither has seen anything like this ice storm and the resulting destruction. Wahl recounts utility workers who had been on power-restoration projects following hurricanes in the Southeast saying the scenes are as bad or worse as anything they've seen.Wahl says crews from several counties to the south, including Kent, Ottawa, Mason, Missaukee, Muskegon, Roscommon, Iosco and Wexford, were helping to clear roads.While the Mackinac Bridge re-opened Thursday morning, April 3, after a 30-hour closure, officials will continue to closely monitor conditions for falling ice. The MBA posted a video message on X from Bridge Director Kim Nowack about the falling ice, along with some photos from the bridge. More videos of falling ice that prompted the current closure were also posted on X. The bridge has closed roughly 30 times in the past 30 years, and the average closure duration is several hours. More frequently asked questions about falling ice and other topics are available on the MBA website.

The Northwoods is no stranger to winter weather, and ice storms have historically been among the most destructive. But even by Wisconsin standards, the most recent ice storm that slammed northern Wisconsin March 29th and 30th, 2025 was one for the books.

On this special podcast of "Behind the Mitten," co-host John Gonzalez checks in with good friend Paul Beachnau of the Gaylord Tourism Bureau about a two-day ice storm in Northern Michigan that has completely devasted the area. Thousands of people across the region remain without power in freezing weather, with some roads still blocked due to downed trees and powerlines. On Monday (March 31, 2025), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Otsego, Oscoda, Montmorency, Presque Isle, Emmet, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Mackinac and Alpena counties in order to help with response and recovery efforts. Paul took time to talk to us after a day of helping neighbors clear debris.PHOTO: Eileen TusseyReleased by the Gaylord Tourism Bureau on April 1, 2025As you may know, Gaylord and much of northern Michigan was hit by an ice storm that started on March 29th. Most of our community has been without power since that time. If you plan to travel to the area in the next few weeks, please call ahead first to ensure you will have power and access to your lodging.There are many trees and powerlines down, but the amazing linemen and first responders are working tirelessly to restore everything. We appreciate their efforts more than words can say!Please bear with us as we work on clearing our roads and trails; the cleanup may take some time. We're optimistic that our community will come together, just like before, to reclaim Gaylord as the outdoor wonderland we all love.Thanks for your patience and support!

Liberal leader Mark Carney revealed his party's housing plan, promising a program modelled on the home-building boom that followed the Second World War. It's being stacked up against Conservative and NDP ideas to tackle Canada's housing crisis.And: An ice storm in Ontario and Quebec leaves hundreds of thousands without power. Roads are blocked. Trees are down. The clean up could take weeks, as the powerful storm moves to Atlantic Canada.Also: It was supposed to be a few days in space that turned into a 9-month stay on the International Space Station. Astronauts from NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 have been back on Earth for a couple weeks now and are now sharing their extraordinary experience — and taking some of the responsibility for the problems that kept them up there for so long.Plus: The Liberal party stands by a candidate who suggested Canadians should turn a Conservative counterpart over to the Chinese consulate and collect a reward, new HIV prevention drug, earthquake search and recovery and more.

Lessons from Historical Disasters| episode 323 History is rich with lessons from disasters, showing us what it takes to endure the worst situations. Survivors of events like hurricanes, wars, and economic collapses often share common factors that contributed to their survival. Preparedness and Resource Management From the Great Depression to World War II, those who managed resources effectively often fared better. During the Great Depression, families with home gardens and stored food were better equipped to weather food shortages. Similarly, rationing during WWII ensured that essentials like sugar and fuel were stretched to meet needs. Adaptability and Ingenuity Survivors often adapted to their circumstances in creative ways. During the Dust Bowl, farmers implemented soil-saving techniques like crop rotation and contour plowing. After Hurricane Katrina, survivors repurposed household items, using coolers as flotation devices or water storage. Flexibility in the face of adversity is key. Community Support and Collaboration No one survives alone. In disasters like Hurricane Harvey, the “Cajun Navy” demonstrated how volunteer efforts save lives. During Canada's 1998 Ice Storm, neighbors shared resources, such as firewood and food, ensuring more people survived the harsh conditions. Knowledge and Skills Practical knowledge saves lives. Indigenous tribes in the Indian Ocean recognized the signs of a tsunami in 2004 and evacuated to higher ground. Similarly, during New York's 1977 blackout, people who knew how to safely use candles and manual tools were less vulnerable. Mental and Emotional Resilience Survivors often credit their mindset for their endurance. Holocaust survivors maintained hope and daily routines. The 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days stayed calm, organized roles, and rationed supplies to stay alive. Learning from these historical lessons helps modern preppers strengthen their readiness for any challenge. Are you prepared?

Episode 338: The Great North American Ice Storm of January 1998 was a devastating natural disaster caused by five consecutive ice storms affecting eastern Ontario, southern Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, northern New York, and central Maine. Montreal and southern Quebec were hardest hit, with freezing rain from January 4th to 9th accumulating up to 100 millimetres, collapsing trees, power lines, and steel towers. Nearly 3.5 million Quebecers and 600,000 Ontarians lost power, with blackouts lasting up to 33 days. The storm claimed 34 lives and led to the largest Canadian military deployment since the Korean War. The disaster tested the resilience of residents, who endured extreme cold and isolation while demonstrating heroism and community spirit.
