A couple and two young children were rescued from an icy lake in Maine after being stranded while out ice fishing during the blustery nor’easter that struck the area earlier in the week. At one point, the family became separated as the storm intensified Tuesday night.

Ruby Goodmen, 31, of Greenville, and Joseph Wentworth, 32, of Orland, were ice fishing out on Moosehead Lake, located about 60 miles northwest of Bangor, with children ages 2 and 5 and their dog when the weather conditions took a drastic turn for the worse from the incoming storm.
