snow blocks key highways Nepal KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Heavy snow has blocked three key highways in Nepal, including the only route into the Himalayan kingdom for trucks carrying supplies from China, police said Monday. The routes are blocked by up to 30 centimeters (one foot) of snow, and storms are expected to continue for at least two more days, the Meteorology Department said. Two of the three highways leading out of the capital, Katmandu, are blocked, including the Arniko, which is the only route between Nepal and China. Hundreds of trucks heading into Nepal with Chinese goods are stranded in towns along that highway. Another key highway that connects towns and villages in the mountainous areas of eastern Nepal also has been blocked. - AP
