The MET Office has forecast isolated to scattered snowfall across the valley over the few days ahead.

The snowfall on Wednesday affected flight operations at Srinagar airport as no flight was able to land till last reports came in. Snowfall affected the visibility at the aerodome and led to accumulation of snow on the runway. The official however, said if there was improvement in the weather, the air traffic would most likely resume.
