"Just got off the phone with a friend.
She said that since early this morning
the snowdrifts have caused the snow to be
nearly waist high and is still falling.
The temperature is dropping to below zero
and the wind is increasing to gale strengths.
Her husband has done nothing but look
through the kitchen window and just stare.
She says that if it gets much worse,
she may have to let his drunken ass in."
