Winter chill returned to Jammu and Kashmir today following snowfall and rains in most parts of the state, Snow and rains, which lashed most parts of the state after a month, intensified cold conditions as mercury dropped in many areas.
A Met department official said: “Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahalgam and other hilly areas received fresh snowfall today (Friday). The minimum temperature in Srinagar was four degrees Celsius. It was minus 10.6 degrees in Leh and minus 5.6 degrees in Kargil towns of the Ladakh region.
“Rain and snow is expected during the next 24 hours across the valley,” he said.
