SRINAGAR: The famous skiing resort of Gulmarg and some other places in the higher reaches of Kashmir received fresh snowfall, while light rains lashed many areas in the plains on Wednesday, even as the minimum temperature in most parts of the valley settled above the freezing point, officials said.
Gulmarg received light fresh snowfall of about 1.2 cm, the officials said.
They said there are reports of snowfall in some other areas in the higher reaches of the valley.
Most areas in the plains of the valley were lashed by rains which continued at many places when the last reports came in, the officials said.
The overcast conditions led to an increase in the minimum temperature at most places of Kashmir, they said.
The minimum temperature in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, settled at a low of 2.7 degrees Celsius, up from the previous night’s 1.1 degrees Celsius, the officials said.
