The higher reaches of Kashmir received the first snowfall of the season on Friday while the rest of the Valley was lashed by heavy rains leading to a drop in temperatures.
"It is snowing in Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Anantnag, Kulgam, Shopian and Qazigund areas of the Valley. In Gulmarg, three inches of snow have accumulated since morning," weather department officials said.
This is the first snowfall of the season in Kashmir and has come at least a month earlier than expected.
"There have been occasions when snowfall has taken place in October but it is a rare occurrence," the officials said.
They said it was also snowing at Zojilla and Gumri on the Srinagar-Leh National highway, forcing the authorities to stop the movement of vehicles to Ladakh region as a precautionary measure.
All the vehicles heading to Kargil and Leh have been stopped at Kangan, 40 kms from here, in Ganderbal district, the officials said
