I talked on the phone last night with an old friend living in North Dakota, near the Canadian border. He said that since last night the snow has been falling, is now nearly waist high, and is still falling. The temperature is falling quickly, and is forecast to drop way below zero and the north wind has increased 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. Sign in to see full entry.
