Snow culture in Afg

Barf Mebarad Ba Farmani Khuda
Barf naw az ma, barfee az shuma!

I got the above email from a colleague and i replied back saying 'what does this mean?' He came to my office and explained the whole thing! Basically, what happens is that one the first day of snow, one person congratulates another on the arrival of snow. When this happens, they recite the above verse, following this; the congratulator has to invite the person who has recited the verse for dinner or lunch.

I know, confusing! I had to get my colleague to explain it to me twice.

Anyways, IT SNOWED TODAY! I saw the snow flakes!!
