Srinagar, Dec 29 (KINS): Meteorologist Sonam Lotus on Monday said there is a high probability of snowfall in most parts of Kashmir and the hilly areas of the Jammu division around the New Year.

According to Sonam Lotus, most areas of Kargil district are likely to witness snowfall, while some parts of Leh district may also receive snow.
