Update @ 8:49pm... Lots of wind up here at my place at the moment. Temp is 46.6F (8.1C), with humidity still low at 46%. From what I can see, there is lower visibility with some snow showers very close to Triund/2900m.
------------------------------------------
Friday's stats:
Low temp: 43.0F (6.1C) -- just after midnight
High temp: 52.7F (11.5C) -- around 11:00am
Rainfall: none
We have extensive cloudiness across the area this evening, and it's breezy at times. Although we had some fleeting glimpses of sun (mainly this morning), the clouds have won the day, and the high temperature was the coldest I've recorded since the 15th of December, nearly two weeks ago. Other than some snow showers up along the Dhauladars and perhaps a couple of random sprinkles further down slope, we've had no significant precipitation today.
So far, this rather dynamic storm system has been a big disappointment with regard to rain/snow production. That's not really too much of a surprise, considering the fact that it has always looked like it was going to have a hard time drawing much moisture into its circulation. The storm center itself is now located over northern Pakistan, and will meander and wobble its way to the Pak/Kashmir border southwest of Srinagar by tomorrow morning, then into central Kashmir by late Sunday night. There's a lot of cloudiness swirling in a counter-clockwise manner around the center, but only the higher mountains are catching any precipitation (in the form of snow) as of this evening. But -- as long as this disturbance remains in our neighborhood, we stand a chance of seeing the development of some showers. A period of thunder is even a possibility before all is said and done.
Right now it looks like we'll see a quiet transition from 2012 to 2013 early next week, with temperatures averaging out fairly close to normal, or just slightly above. Full sunshine doesn't appear likely, but there are no ominous-looking storm systems waiting in the wings either.
