wet, cold and wild?
Most of the interesting parts of Morocco are at altitude, for example, Marrakech is 1500', Azrou is 4200', Ouarzazate is 3500'. As for the mountain passes, Col du Zad (between Azrou and Midelt) is 7000' and the High Atlas passes are about 8000'.
Some of the main roads can get blocked for short periods with snow, though they are quickly cleared with snow ploughs. There's a big map board by the side of the road in El Hajeb (between Meknes and Azrou) that shows the up-to-date situation of all the main passes. Smaller roads can also get blocked, however are left like that until the snow melts of its own accord.
Expect freezing cold mornings, especially at altitude, then hopefully warm watery sunshine through the day, then getting cold again after about 3pm. I suggest you seriously consider
- electrically heated jacket with sleeves (e.g. Gerbing)
- handlebar muffs
- gaucho bag

The gaucho is what's around his legs in the pic above.
