Kabul experiences coldest weather in 15 years

The Afghan capital has been experiencing its worst cold-snap and heaviest snows in at least 15 years, the National Weather Center said Wednesday.

The cold, combined with about 19.6 inches (50 centimeters) of snow, has caused power blackouts and iced over most of the capital’s roads. The bad weather has also caused a sharp increase in demand for wood, the main fuel used by the city’s five million or so residents to heat their homes.
