Kashmir is in the middle Chillai-Kalan, the 40-day winter period which commenced on December 21 and ends on January 31. The period is considered the harshest of the winter when the chances of snowfall are most frequent and maximum. The cold wave, however, continues even after that in Kashmir with a 20-day-long ‘Chillai-Khurd’ (small cold) and a 10-day-long ‘Chillai-Bachha’ (baby cold).

Already, Kashmir Valley received heavy snowfall earlier this month, disrupting normal life.  The Weatherman has forecast “mainly dry weather” in the next 24 hours and “no significant change till January 18”. (GNS)
