9th Dec 2008 - The ski resort of Gulmarg was covered in a 5-6 inch white blanket, bringing cheer to tourists who enjoyed snow flakes drifting from skies and locals who saw it as the beginning of the business season. The rain and snow also gave people a respite from the biting cold of the past week as minimum temperatures went up by more than two degrees to settle at minus 0.2 degrees Celsius in the valley.
The lack of snow was in fact giving jitters to entire administration as Gulmarg will be hosting the national winter games in January 2008. But now with snow firmly set in place - a few more days of snow and the slopes should ready for the winter games.
