SRINAGAR : Few areas in the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir received light snowfall even as there was improvement in the minimum temperature across the Valley and Ladakh region, with a forecast about possibility of a spell of wet weather from Wednesday.
Light snowfall and rains were experienced in few areas along the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, a Meteorological Department official said here.
He said the areas near Jawahar Tunnel and Patnitop received fresh intermittent light snowfall and rains.
Reports of snowfall were received from other areas in the higher reaches like Bhaderwah where 2 cm of snow was recorded.
However, the rains and snow did not affect the traffic on the 300-km arterial road, the only all-weather road-link connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country.
Though there was some snowfall and rains, that did not affect the traffic, a spokesman of the Traffic Department said.
The Meteorological Department has said there are chances of light rains or snow at isolated places in the state today.
There is also a possibility of light to moderate snowfall, especially in the higher reaches, for a few days from February 10, the official said.
Meanwhile, there was improvement in the minimum temperature in Kashmir and Ladakh region and the mercury settled above the freezing point across the Valley except in Gulmarg. (AGENCIES)
