Hi,
Yes, Shilha was once my dream destination too :)
I'm mostly working on my own projects this year, which require electricity and internet, so that means, everything gets delayed. That's the price I pay for this experience. But, I was not blind about it thoguh. When I first came here in July, there were weeks without electricity or mobile network—completely cut off from the world. The roads were breaking apart, with landslides and other scary things. So, compared to that, snow is still gentle. So, I knew the losses I would be taking by choosing this place, and that kinda keeps me a bit calmer in such situations.
Sounds like a harsh environment for me. I don't think I'll survive haha. I usually get a runny nose with minor temperature differences. Good thing your are your own boss. You get to experience things like this instead of working in a cubicle haha.
Enjoy your stay :)
