I just got off the phone with a friend who lives

I just got off the phone with a friend who lives in Massachusetts. 

She said that since early this morning, the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. 

The temperature is dropping below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. 

Her husband has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. 

She says that if it gets much worse, she many have to let him in.
