I just got off the phone with a friend living in North Dakota near the
Canadian Border. He said that since early this morning the snow has been
coming down, it is nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature
is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale
force. His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and
just stare. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.
