Hi guys,

As promised here are some pictures to start with.I guess Snowfall is a great way to kick start this Thread, what say?

Here are some from my personal collection in & around my house last year when the city too had a great snowfall unlike this year.

Amazing pics. Is the life normal during such snowfall. As in communication lines, water supply, electricity, LPG supply etc.?

If the snowfall is as much as in the snaps then Electricity will be off for more than 24hrs.No electricity means no Water !
Main roads are swept clean by snow dozers although remain skiddy.

I still remember i started this diesel indica after a few minutes of taking these snaps, i started in half crank(it seems i have mastered a trick)

More pictures coming your way , i forgot to mention that dogs & Wheels are going hand in hand for me since childhood

Great pic !!! Wish to have a part of that some time.

Fantastic pics. Keep them coming. I was about to ask about whether you face starting the diesel Indica in that cold. Anything special about the number "6"? Loved the pic of the doggy.

I had been to Srinagar and the surroundings way back in 1982. Would surely love to go back there soon.

Awesome pictures ....

Make me wonder, why do people have to spend so much money on a European trip, when you can get such beautiful nature here in India. Would love to drive through Kashmir someday on a road trip.

Junaidbhai lovely pics. And i was there in srinagar on that day 07/02/08. I was in gulmarg from 01/02/08 to 05/02/08 and in srinagar from 05/02/08 to 08/02/08. Boss i tell you i have never seen a more beautiful place in my life. It was out of the world and it snowed continuosly for three days. Will upload some pics of the trip soon.

Well all I think looking at these pictures is :

"Gar bar-ru-e-zamin ast; hamin ast, hamin ast, hamin asto!" (“If there be a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!").
