The snowfall that started on Monday has piled up to one foot. Though the snowfall has stopped, the cloudy weather has further dropped the temperature.
The snowfall will benefit farmers, however. The district agricultural development office said the snowfall will help to irrigate crops grown by the farmers and to maintain temperature to plant apple saplings.
