021413 Just about all the snow is gone...

 

Last weekend there was a decent snow here as you can see from the pic below.  But now it's just about all gone and I don't think it will snow again here.  The nearby mountains are still snow covered and they'll get more snow but for Kabul (at 5800' elevation) last week was probably it.  The previous spring rains were downpours.   They were not at all like the dark, soaking to the core rain I know from Seattle.  The rain here was furious as if kicking winter out of the way to make way for the coming summer.  Afghanistan is not known as a green place but among the v-cut valley are oases of green and real trees.  So maybe it's good that just about all the snow is gone...

Here's a pic.
