It has not even reached its annual maximum, yet. It will depend on the weather in the coming weeks but, on average, the snow maximum is reached at the end of March here in the south of the country and a month later in the far north.
I live in Kashmir, India..
It is very cold but mostly in jan, Feb
It gets better in March.
I took this about 2 months ago
We get a lot of snow, but not this year.
What a beautiful landscape! Your winters are different in the sense that your could weather is caused by the high altitude and not high latitude. Your winter days are much longer and sunnier than ours. Your winters must be like our early spring at its best.
Well, it's really elementary. And what I meant was the length of day and the altitude of the sun in the sky. Because you're about 30 latitudes to the south of where we are, the sun is 30 degrees higher than here. In the winter, that would make a really massive difference. Here in the south of Finland, the length of day is less than six hours at winter solstice. That means eighteen hours of darkness and only six hours of daylight whereas in Kashmir you probably have something like ten hours of daylight even in the dead of the winter.

I didn't know that..
We get snow in the Dec,Jan period and very rarely in March..
You're in Kashmir? Pakistan or India?
I've heard about the far north of India and Pakistan having really cold winters. I've seen people post photographs shot there.

Yes it is because of the high altitude.
Yes,it does snow for a day or two and then it's mostly sunny..
You know a lot about this
