There is no winter weather raging in Afghanistan. High of 30 degrees in cities is winter weather to me.
In mountains not covered by the weather channel it is probably even colder.
Your criticism on this point is trivial.

No precip. No snow. Simply cold weather is not an impediment for military operations. But it's not even cold. The forecast high for Jalalabad is in the sixties. In the west, where the winter weather is supposedly raging, the forecast high temps are 55-65 degrees. Golf weather, except the Afghanis don't play golf.
You Debka-supporters will go to great lengths to downplay Debka's mistakes - but now they've been caught lying. If you think that is trivial, it speaks volumes...

The lowest of the highs (what a funny sentence) is in Kabul and that's 41. Cold, but no precipitation. When we lived in Chicago I couldn't get rides to school if it was snowing, didn't matter how cold, you like in Chicago you learn to tough it out. We don't see anything on either the forcast or radar map that even remotely compares to the weather we faced during the Battle of the Bulge, and we've got much better cold weather gear now than we had back then.
