During winter times in Iran, temperatures drop below the freezing point with snow often being so severe that access to the mountain and village becomes cut off. Due to the severe weather conditions and inaccessibility to food and resources no resident lives in kamarposht permanently but rather families who have had a presence there for a long time go up their for weeks or months at a times.[citation needed]
