During the weekend we had an unusual 'freaje' that came along the Andes, along the coast, and part of Amazonia. In Lima we had a temperature drop slightly below 20° C. Lots of rain for us during three days. 40 km winds that created a dust storm in parts of Lima, blew corrugated roofs and some trees. Between Casapalca and Morococha at Ticlio there was a storm that accumulated snow more than one meter in places. The Misti in Arequipa is covered with snow all the way down. Two days ago in Cuzco there some snowflakes. Along the Andes temperatures 0° or below. Some people froze.. The high parts are all covered with snow blocking the high roads for hours or days. Today I learned that the road between Puquio and Challapallca (Ayacucho) has the greatest amount of snow and is totally blocked. Juliaca is also heavily covered with snow. Strong winds in places from Cajamarca south."Plenge, Manuel" <MAPlenge@southernperu.com.pe>
