I was talking on the phone to a friend who lives in northern Montana, just near the Canadian border. The friend said that, since early this morning, the snow has been nearly waist-high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping way below zero, he said, 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 said that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.
