a rather quiet evening in progress after a very active previous 24 hours. i had another 0.63" (1.6cm) in the rain gauge since about 6:30am, bringing the total rainfall since very early sunday morning to 1.23" (3.1cm). with some small breaks in the clouds this afternoon, the high temp reached 44.6F (7.0C).
there were just a few snowflakes in mcleod ganj this morning into the early afternoon, with very minor snow accumulations reported in dharamkot and naddi. as expected, the significant snowfall has remained in the mountains above... at least up to this point. our upper-level storm system is now centered over western kashmir, and will continue moving gradually eastward during the next 24 hours. computer models are in a state of disarray over solutions from this point forward. one model is ending the precipitation altogether, while another is insisting on the development of another round of significant rain and snow between now and tuesday night. yet another offers something in between, which seems to be the way to go for now. i think occasional rain and/or snow showers are still a good bet tonight and tuesday... with a painfully slow clearing trend thereafter.
the weather pattern will remain unsettled for the rest of the week, so don't expect a dramatic turn to sunny days and warm temps anytime soon. in fact, we could be dealing with yet another potent storm system by the weekend...
