Actually I've been posting here since September that Washington D.C. has more severe winters then the major cities of Afghanistan. I checked the climatological data for Afghanistan and found that Afghan winters are milder than the entire American Northeast. Not to mention the Plains states and Colorado Rockies. So much for those "brutally cold" Afghan winters that the media have been warning us about.
Granted, it is cold in the mountains. But no colder than the Rockies or the White Mountains up in New Hampshire.

But no colder than the RockiesActually, for the most part I find winter in the Colorado Rockies far more comfortable than winter in Philadelphia - and I live in the mountains. It can be 20 degrees but I'm running around in a flannel shirt because the air is dry - not that miserable dank cold one gets back east...
