Time stamp: Monday evening
As I write this entry, it is snowing outside. More accurately, there is a f****** blizzard outside.
I never thought I would say this but I am tired of snow. In just the last 6 weeks, over 6 feet of snow has fallen. In a country that has no heating mechanism other than to build a small fire, I am bitterly cold. At the moment, I am wearing 3 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of socks, and 6 top layers. I am too cold to type or write much of anything. I haven't posted a new blog entry because I haven't done anything recently except watch it snow.
The snow makes the mountain roads dangerous; transportation in this part of the country has virtually been shut down. I got stuck in Azrou for 4 days a couple of weeks ago. The short 30 km mountain pass to my site was closed. It took 4 days before it was open again. Last week, all the stores in my town ran out of milk because the supply trucks couldn't get through the snow. This morning, I was literally snowed in my house. My door was frozen shut.
It is hard to describe just how cold I am. I shouldn't be complaining though. This time next week, I will be in Panama City, Florida where yesterday's high was a balmy 73 degrees!
