It sounds as if the Gote server is down. I believe it is located someplace other than Chama which means someone other than Jay has to kick it's butt.
As far as Chama being declared a disaster area, I doubt that. Nothing in the papers around here. Just a snowier than normal winter so far. The snow did collapse part of the village hall entrance foyer. Pictures of the snow across the street from the store show the plows have piled it up over six ft.
BTW, the ABQ Journal reports that the story of the lost snowmobilers will be presented on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on ABC Tuesday, January 15. They are all being flown to CA for a Monday taping. I hope someone gives them some pictures of the section house/dining facility to show.
