Srinagar, Jan 20: Even though the 40-day long period of harsh winter called the ‘Chillai Kalan’ is ending in less than 10 days from Saturday, Kashmiris live in horror of a snowless winter that would spell disaster in the summer months.

“We are expecting light snow at isolated places from January 26 onwards, but so far, there is no major Western Disturbance approaching J&K,” said an official of the MeT department.

Srinagar had minus 3.7, Gulmarg minus 4.6 and Pahalgam minus 5.5 as the minimum temperature today.
