“There are indications that between January 20 and 21, the weather may turn cloudy and there will be a light snowfall in hilly areas. However, the weather may change from January 24 onwards and Kashmir Valley may witness a snowfall,” Dr Mukhtar said.
Pertinently, most plains in Kashmir Valley have not received any snow while the upper reaches saw less than usual snowfall this season.
