Light snow is still falling, adding to the picturesque winter scenery.

The forecast suggests that snowfall will likely continue throughout the day, although only light accumulations are expected. In addition to Gulmarg, higher elevations such as Sinthan Top, Razdan Top, and Peer Ki Gali are also predicted to receive light snowfall in the next 24 hours.
