“From 6-7th November, there are chances of moderate Rain/snow (over higher reaches) and very likely to occur at most places of J&K Plains of Kashmir, mainly South, likely to receive (2-3)inches of snowfall during 6-7th. Heavy Snowfall (2-3feet) very likely over higher reaches,” he said, adding that snowfall and low temperatures may led to temporary disruption of surface transportation, mainly over Zojila, Jmu-Srinagar HW, Sinthantop, Mugal road etc. during 6-7th.
