January 28th, 2010 - 2:45 pm ICT by IANSSrinagar, Jan 28 (IANS) North Kashmir’s Gulmarg tourist resort received snowfall Thursday morning, even as the weatherman predicted rain and snow in many parts of the Kashmir Valley.
“The minimum temperature in Srinagar was 1.5 degrees Celsius today (Thursday). It was minus 10.4 degrees in Leh and minus 6 degrees in Kargil,” said an official of the weather office here.
Snowfall started early morning at Gulmarg while it rained in Uri in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
