Snowfall in Darjeeling

It’s February & it’s snowing Freak flakes in Darjeeling

Feb. 14: Had you been in Darjeeling on Valentine’s Day, you could have said it with snow.

The last time you could have done so was 22 years ago, when V-Day’s favourite generation was yet to be born. The next time is anybody’s guess — tomorrow’s forecast does not look too bright.

That was excellent for all Darjeeling lovers, including Somnath and me. The only bad thing is that I am sitting duck here in Kolkata this time.

Is the image from Telegraph today?

Hey Bhaswaran, good morning. And yesterday morning I was just amazed to know from my friend that Darjeeling is covered by white powder!!!! Snowfall in Darjeeling - Can you imagine, Bhaswaran? Well, friends according to my friend (lucky man) the situation is just like Holi. The only difference is everyone is throwing snowballs and not colors. Wish I could be present there.
Hey Bhaswaran lets start for Darjeeling tonight. Tomorrow is Friday – we’ll take one day off and then weekend. What do you think?

And, yes the link & image from The Telegraph. But cant find out the picture of Ghum Station which is published in The Anandabazar Patrika (first page), can anyone help me?

No, SOmnath, it will be useless, the depression has got off and sun is shining brightly from yesterday. only 4 inch snow will melt in a hour. But next winter, whenever i see depression in West bengal, I will head towards Darjeeling.

Bhaswaran · Feb 16th, 2007, 16:33

Just now have a conversation with Mr. Adhir Pal from Varsey (Sikkim), everything is stanstill there under 2 feet of snow. Anyone wants to go there just now, will have to trek another 9 Km from Okhray to Hillay and then 4 Km to Varsey. Adventerous people proceed.
