*Rohtang Pass closed following heavy snow
*Other passes such as Saach, Chansel, Kunzam and Baralacha turn white
*Mercury remained at sub-zero level in tribal areas
*Thick fog engulfed towns along the river banks
*Ground frost reported in higher hills
Shimla: The higher reaches and tribal areas of the state experienced another spell of snowfall while the mid and lower hills were lashed by rain accompanied by strong winds, aggravating the cold wave conditions.
The mighty Rohtang Pass (13,050 ft) was closed following heavy snow while other high mountain passes such as Saach, Chansel, Kunzam and Baralacha turned white. Keylong and Kalpa in Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti recorded 11 cm and 10 cm of snow while Manali and Bharmour recorded 6 cm and 5 cm of fresh snow in the past 24 hours.
Mercury remained at the sub-zero level in the tribal areas with Kalpa being the coldest at minus 2.6 degree followed by Manali minus 1.6 degree, Keylong minus 1.1 degree while Shimla shivered at 3.0 degree.
Thick fog engulfed the towns along the river banks while ground frost occurred in higher hills, freezing water pipes at some places.
Manali was the wettest in the region with 39 mm rain while Saloni and Sundernagar recorded 37 mm rain followed by Shimla 35 mm, Seobagh 31 mm, Jubbarhatti 30 mm, Dharampur 29 mm, 28 mm, Bilaspur 24 mm, Bhuntar 22 mm and Kahu and Pandoh 20 mm and Kasauli and Chamba 19 mm.
The maximum temperature slipped by a few notches and Una was the hottest at 20.2 degree followed by Solan and Bhuntar 17.0 degree, Nahan 15.8 degree, Dharamsala 15.1 degree, Shimla 10.2 degree, Kalpa 7.4 degree and Manali 6.8 degree C.
Fresh rain has cheered farmers as the weather is favourable for the Rabi crop. It has reduced the rain deficit during October 1-December 12 to 18 per cent from 51 per cent. The Met Department has predicted dry weather in the next four days with marginal fluctuation in mercury.
