Sub-zero-like temps can't close Western Wash. University

North of Bellingham, along the road they call the Guide Meridian to Lynden, snow blew across the highway Wednesday, blinding at times, reaching 50 miles per hour.
Temperatures never got out of the teens. The high was only 18 degrees at 5:00 p.m. But with the wind chill, it felt a lot lower than that.
"It feels like it's cold enough to burn your face." said Gary Gilmore, as he moved granite slabs indoors from where he works along the highway. "It's definitely cold."
