Weatherman predicts snowfall in Kashmir

Even as intense dry cold gripped Kashmir, the MeT department Wednesday said that the long dry spell was likely to end by this weekend.

The Meteorological (Met) department has forecast snow/rain in plains as well as in the higher reaches between January 26 to February 1.

“Between January 28 and 29, light to moderate snowfall in lower, middle and higher reaches is likely to occur at many places while light to moderate snowfall is likely at widespread places between January 30 and 31”, a MeT department statement said.

Srinagar had minus 5.3, Gulmarg minus 4.8 and Pahalgam minus 6.3 as the minimum temperature.
