sunday statistics:
low temp: 53.6F (12.0C)
high temp: 62.3F (16.8C)
rainfall: 0.61" (1.5cm)
the stars are out tonight, after a very interesting and active day. the upper-level disturbance which has been threatening northern india for the past few days finally unloaded on us starting late this morning, with a respectable amount of rain (the most we've received this month), along with some intense thunder and lightning during the very early part of the afternoon. i experienced a direct lightning strike at my place, which was a first, and a bit unsettling to say the least.
the mountains have been picking up some light snowfall since thursday, but today, there were some heavy snowfall totals over much of the higher elevations of kashmir and the nothern half of himachal pradesh. apparently rotang pass is closed (for the moment), and there are reports of up to a foot of snow on many passes to our north. obviously, colder, wintry air has made an appearance, for the first time this season.
a dramatic turn to nicer weather is in our immediate future, however, as drier air flows in behind this vigorous weather system. expect an increasing amount of sunshine day by day as we progress through the coming week... good news for those in town for the teachings, for trekking, or for diwali celebrations...
