Tulail in Gurez Valley also received 1-2 cm of snow, and light snowfall was observed over Sinthan Top, Peer Ki Gali, and Gulmarg, Faizan said.
Speaking about the short-term forecast, Arif said that rain and snow showers are likely to continue for the next 8-10 hours, after which precipitation will gradually reduce.
