winter wallop... (pm.22.jan.19)>

Tuesday's stats:

Low temp: 34.0ºF (1.1ºC)
High temp: 42.4ºF (5.8ºC)
Melted precipitation: 2.72" (6.9cm)
Snow accumulation: 2.5 - 3.0" (near 7cm)
Storm total melted precip since Monday: 3.27" (8.3cm)

As temperatures have never really dipped below freezing, there is a lot of melting and dripping going on this evening, after occasional periods of snow (in the midst of bouts of moderate rain) throughout the day.  The most impressive and enjoyable episode of snowfall here in McLeod Ganj occurred this evening between about 4:45 and 6:20pm, when we had the most accumulation.




Although there is a good chance of more off and on rain and snow showers overnight, and then at least the possibility of some scattered rain/snow showers all the way through Friday, it appears that the vast majority of the real BITE of this storm system may have passed.  Temperatures remain cold, and unless we get some decent periods of sunshine, will rebound little until the latter part of the weekend into early next week.

Huge amounts of snow have piled up in the higher elevations above town... on the order of two to four feet between Galu and Triund.  Yes, it has been a good one.!
