We continue with the 9th day of temps below freezing instead of the normal highs of 48. We've had snow for the last 3 days and expect more tomorrow. In a place that rarely sees even a coating of snow, we have received over a foot. The news reports over 40 hypothermias in town; they just are not used to this. Their houses are not well insulated and the roofs are not designed for the frozen variety of precipitation. We have constant overcast. Just like back in Michigan. At least the power is on here and the water runs. We had a 1 hour outage in the chow hall and some huts this morning, but all is back to function. That's an 8 foot mound of snow piled up in our main open area.
I am wearing one of the ethnic hats of Afghanistan, a pacool. My assigned interpreter brought it back as a gift to me on his trip home for the December holidays. Pure wool. Thanks!
