March is a pretty cold month in the mountains. Dew usually freezes to ice, but the temperature never drops low enough for snowfall. But this March, snowfall in Mussourie took place for the first time in 19 years.
Other hill stations around India, such as Shimla and Nainital were also covered in a thick blanket of snow in March after over a decade.
Dhanaulti and Landour observed even heavier spells of snowfall, making tourists, who were there for the long Holi weekend, feel extremely fortunate. The last time it snowed here on Holi was in 1988.
Shimla, Kufri and other higher towns of the area received snowfall throughout the weekend, starting from Saturday. This restricted the movement of locals and travellers a little, but converted the lush green scenery into a spectacular white wonderland.
