Snow in Islamabad Again

Happens after every 5 years or so! I remember the first snowfall in 1986, and then there was one about 4-5 years ago and I heard it snowed again yesterday!!!

Anyone in Islamabad who took pictures?

p.s. can anyone shed some more light into the introduction of certain types of coniferous by the Govt which were planted in the 80s, that would have caused regular snowfall every year, but ended up being the source of pollen allergies which became out of control to the extent that they cut down all those trees…

Re: Snow in Islamabad Again

Yes, it was a hail storm. Happened around 2:00-2:30ish in the afternoon. Hails no bigger than a couple of millimeters in diameter.

I know because I am in Rawalpindi and I know snow because I am from Colorado. :-P

Re: Snow in Islamabad Again

**It hailed “here”(where I live :D) also. **
Subhan’Allah It was lovely :slight_smile:

**My experience: I thought to taste the “olaay” I “caught” one of them and swallowed it down my throat. It tasted like the ordinary ice :@: LOL… and I said to myself they are :yummy: **
