Himachal Pradesh experienced good rainfall and snowfall in December. Farmers and orchardists are delighted with the snowfall, and tourists are thoroughly enjoying the experience as well. Tourists visiting Shimla and other popular destinations for the New Year celebrations are relishing the snowfall. However, the snowfall has also caused difficulties, with over 200 roads, including 3 national highways, completely closed. Post-snowfall and rainfall, the minimum temperature in several areas has dropped significantly below zero. The Meteorological Department has predicted clear weather for the next three days in the state, while an orange alert for a cold wave has been issued in five districts.
