Starting this so people stop calling me. Kenkol: open, chains needed above the second bend. Snow coming Thursday. After Thursday, God knows, and He doesn't drive a Kamaz.
If the road is closed, the road is closed.

I'm on the wrong side of it with a cool box of vaccines. Anybody going round by the lower road?

Lower road open but the checkpoint is slow, they open every box. Bring the vet papers in three copies. And a thermos. And patience, two copies.
If the road is closed, the road is closed.

Erbol, your light says green. I am behind six metres of snow. Please fix the light.

Kenkol closed. Horses still go. Slower than trucks in summer, faster than trucks in winter.

Our road has been closed since the third of December. Flour came up last week on nine horses. The children ran out to count the sacks. Better than television.

Kök-Bel open again: Herald. Four days in the queue at the bottom with flour. If the road is closed, the road is closed.

Ten years of this thread. Kenkol closed early again. My wife says I am now "too old for chains". I still carry flour.

First snow on Kenkol tonight, early this year. Road still open. Chains in the cab. Erbol, I know, your light says green.
