Heavy snowfall has blocked roads into at least two districts of northern Samangan province, raising concerns for residents living in the cut-off villages, local officials said.
The roads into Dar-e-Souf Bala and Dara-e-Souf Payen have been blocked because of heavy snowfall and the residents are likely to face problems, provincial spokesman Mohammad Sediq Azizi said.
He asked government to help them to clear the roads.
"The people cannot come to the city of Samangan. The roads have been blocked and we need the help of government to clear the roads," he said.
It comes as a woman and her two children froze to death in central Logar province Sunday night as temperatures dropped below freezing, local officials said.
The deaths happened in Logar's Kharwar district after the cold weather worsened and the roads through the district closed.
Heavy snowfall has also closed the roads from the Azar, Charkh and Barak-e-Barck districts to the capital of Logar.
The major traffic route Salang Highway connecting the north and south of the country has been closed since Friday because of avalanche fears.
On Sunday, two men and a woman were killed and a woman was injured when avalanches struck the Shikh Ali district in northern Parwan province.
The snowfall is expected to continue until Tuesday, but there is no clear sign when the roads will reopen.
In early 2012, avalanches following an extreme storm in southern Salang killed 190 and left about 200 injured, an incident which raised criticism against the lack of preparedness of Afghan government departments.
