Snow in Northern Michigan

I just got off the phone with a friend who lives in northern Michigan. He said that the snow is nearly waist high and is still falling.

The temperature is at fifteen degrees and still dropping... and the wind is increasing to near gale force.

Even the plows are having a hard time getting around.

The schools are closed, and alerts are on all the TV and radio stations urging people to stay off the streets.

He said his wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window for hours on end, just staring.
