Yes, we got some snow. These are the mountains south of Kabul toward the Pakistani border in the province of Khost. Check out the snow completely covering the mud-walled grids in the third picture; those of the houses of an isolated village of a few dozen families up in the mountains. The last picture shows what I've posted previously - lots more vegetation in the mountains as you move toward the Pakistani border in the SE. No vegetation, of course, in the central and western south; that's desert. Lots of green up north, but it's impossible to fly there right now. Next month I'm due in Baghlan; later this month in Badghis, along the northern border; I'll see if I can get some shots of the terrain there, if the fog allows. Of course, if there's fog, I'm either grounded or about to crash into the side of a mountain.
