Shimla saw its first proper snowfall of the season early in the day, with snow falling on and off for several hours. By morning, roads, rooftops, and trees across the city were covered in white, giving the state capital a completely different look.
However, the snowfall was not without its challenges. For instance, there was a drastic slow-down in traffic movement as cars tried to move on the icy surface of the roads. There were reportedly serious jams on major access routes into and out of town. Interestingly, while some people, like those visiting, were thrilled about the experience, many locals encountered difficulty because normal movement within town was affected.
