a major snow event has been occurring during the past 18 hours or so, with knee-deep snow reported at upper TCV, and at least a few inches reported all the way down into dharamsala and other parts of the kangra valley.
the upper-level system responsible for the snowfall is now winding down and shifting east of himachal pradesh, but lingering moisture and a few minor disturbances will keep the chance of a few rain and snow showers in the forecast for the next couple of days.
temperatures have fallen to around 0C (32F), and will likely dip at least a couple of degrees further, especially overnight. this is just about as cold and snowy as it gets around here, folks! fortunately (or unfortunately), mcleod ganj is practically a ghost town now, due to the massive gathering in bodh gaya.
