The Weathering, Dawn of the Apocalypse by Joseph McGinnis

Winter lasts way too damn long and every year it seems to grow longer. Usually his grandfather’s metaphorical teachings have a pacifying effect, but now his words just leave Joseph frustrated. Like all living beings, they know their purpose, and what path to pursue when the time comes. This is a crucial time in which Mother Earth, the bountiful Ashkaakamigokwe, finally gets her much needed rest, the blessed spell of renewal, when Giiwedin, the North Wind, brings the purifying snows to cleanse the land, when some plants and creatures discard their weary robes and return to the soil, while others slumber within the nurturing sanctuary of hibernation. Winter-the great snowy Biboon, the season where never-ending squalls roil off Lake Superior, the Gichigami, the vast inland sea of Chippewa legends. In the soft voice of a wind-strummed pine he hears a lesson from Mishoomis, his grandfather, Walter, echo inside his head: Like a metronome, the wipers whip frantically across the windshield nudging him into a hypnotic trance. Bouncing on the padded spring-loaded seat, he inhales recycled stale air, the stench of scorched carpet from under the heating vents, musty in dank corners. With his hands wound tight on the oversized steering wheel, swatches of crystal flakes encapsulate his cab, trapping him inside a globed chamber of isolation, a fetid tomb. Crystal is caught in the middle of a world in complete anarchy as The Weathering hunts her down to punish her for her decision to leave them and tell their secretes.Between L’Anse and Baraga on Indian Cemetery Road, Joseph Deer-Running operates the orange, Mac snowplow #7 in near whiteout conditions. People can either do the evil they want to get away with or defend their lives from the evil of the world. All of a sudden her blog and ideas start go viral and take life as people start to commit murders, terrorist attacks, and global destruction the way she wrote in her blog. Crystal writes about the murder on her blog and how easy it would be to kill someone if everyone was doing it at the same time. Crystal promised to keep the murder a secret or face destruction from the Weathering. Crystal moves to a new town with new friends, new careers, and a new life. Years pass and Chrystal, one of The Weathering followers, has decided to turn her life around. They decide to kill and eat someone and see if they can get away with it.
