People should avoid venturing out, if avoidable. Significant improvement from 6th onwards."J&K has been experiencing light to moderate snow/rain during the last two days.Heavy snowfall during the ongoing 40-day long period of harsh winter cold, known locally as the 'Chillai Karan', is believed to be the harbinger of a blissful summer.All perennial water reserviors of J&K and Ladakh get replenished by snowfall during the Chillai Kalan and various water bodies are sustained by these water reserviors during the summer months.Snapping of roads and highways by heavy snowfall and failure of electricity due to system breakdown are some of the common problems the locals face in the aftermath of a major snowfall in Kashmir.(IANS)
