Mcloedganj W.D snow and rain report - "moment-by-moment."
*Update @ 8:31pm... Another 0.19" (5mm) of rain and melted snow in the past hour. Total precipitation now 4.28" (10.9cm) since Sunday night. With a current temp of 37.9F (3.3C), it's hard to get this snow to stick and accumulate. It is melting almost as fast as it falls. Since the freezing level is just a couple of hundred meters above, we could start getting some significant accumulations overnight... but it's too close to call at the moment.
----------------------------------
*Update @ 7:29pm... I have 1.66" (4.2cm) of rain and melted snow/sleet in my rain gauge since 4:30pm. That amounts to a total of 4.09" (10.4cm) since this storm began on Sunday night. Snow accumulation at my location at the very top of McLeod Ganj is about 1.5", and it is snowing (with a little rain mixed in) now. Current temp: 35.4F (1.9C).
-------------------------------------
*Update @ 6:28pm... Moderate snow (still mixed with rain) in progress here in the middle of McLeod. It is accumulating on rooftops and cars, with about an inch of slush in the streets. Will post temps and rain gauge info when I get back within reach.
------------------------------------------------
*Update @ 6:01pm... Well it truly is 'moment-by-moment'. A light, slushy accumulation of snow is already occurring in the main market in McLeod Ganj. It is a very wet snow, but snow it is!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Things began to change radically and dramatically around 4:30pm, with a sudden lowering/thickening of the cloud cover, the appearance of fog, and the development of some much more substantial rain shower action. We've also had some sleet mixed in, along with thunder since just a few minutes ago (5:30pm).
This is now a moment-by-moment situation to watch how this huge storm system interacts with the mountains this evening and overnight. The upper-level circulation is further north than expected -- over northeastern Pakistan, just west of Jammu -- but should begin to shift more toward the east during the next 12-24 hours. This will put it right over Himachal during Wednesday.
The uncertainty that exists is a broad tongue of drier air which has been drawn into the midst of the storm's rotation. That's what kept our rain amounts down today, and what could cut off the rain again later this evening. On the other hand, this current deep moisture could remain entrenched along the leading edge of the mountains, providing us with plenty of rain and snow as the night wears on.
Check back here throughout the evening for updated information, including current temps, rainfall amounts, potential changeover to snow in our vicinity, etc.

W.D update from Mcleodganj - "aggressive start... (am.04.feb.13)"
*Update @ 4:13pm... And now we've even had some thunder added to the mix, starting around 3:05pm. There have been some brief heavy showers around town since last report. Current temp: 45.5F (7.5C). The snow line remains well up the mountain, and shouldn't be making in moves in our direction anytime soon, as we remain in the warm sector of our storm's circulation pattern.
*Update @ 2:16pm... I've recorded more than a half inch (1.2cm) of rain since 7:30am, which brings thetotal rainfall since late last night up to 1.90" (4.8cm). This amount of rain so soon is actually putting us well ahead of projections for this storm system. The upper-level circulation remains in southwestern Pakistan, and is expected to move very slowly into central Pak by this time tomorrow. As individual waves of energy pivot north-northeastward around this system, we'll be seeing more periods of moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall developing, especially late tonight and Tuesday. In fact Tuesday continues to look like the peak time for the heaviest precipitation in our area. Current temp: 46.0F (7.8C), humidity is 85%.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am completely stunned to find 1.33" (3.4cm) in my rain gauge as of 7:30am this Monday morning. This storm has wasted no time in getting started. The low temp here on Tushita Road below the Mountaineering Center has been 39.4F (4.1C), and I have a current temp of 40.2F (4.6C), with 92% humidity. There has been no power here since about 4:00am.
The first big wave of energy and moisture is being ejected northeastward out of the center of this storm's circulation, which is still hanging way back in southwestern Pakistan -- and that's what we're experiencing now. However, this system is still not even fully developed yet, and the latest computer models are showing much more rain to come between now and early Thursday. At the rate we're going, those predictions during the past several days of 15cm or more (6"+) of rain seem to be well within the realm of possibility. We could get a break in the action later today or this evening before things crank up again.
Temperatures are also already colder than initial expectations, and that continues to have me concerned about a snow line which could end up pretty far downhill by late Tuesday or Wednesday. Plenty to watch and keep on top of during the coming few days!! I'll post updates as I am able...
