I just got off the phone with friend living in Minnesota near the Canadian border.
He said that since it started early this morning, the snow is nearly waist high and is still falling.
The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near blizzard conditions.
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.
Like it.
