Last night Tiger Hill was busy to wear the cloth of white frost. This was the closest snowfall this season here, after another fall in the trekking-destination of Sandakphu around two weeks ago. Snow fell last night in the upper reaches of the Singalila range. Four inches of snow was there in the Tiger Hill to receive the visitors who came there to enjoy the snowfall biting the cold wind. Local people said that the snowfall started from 11 p. m. last night and continued for around 45 minutes. Jalapahar, an area adjoining Tiger Hill, received snowfall last night. Local people become tension free for the last night’s rainfall since the fear of water scarcity during the lean April-May period is haunting people here. There were no problems for the vehicle to run because of this snowfall. Aditya Tamang, an employee of the DGHC engineering section said, `This is wonderful. We had to trek to Tiger Hill last year. This time our vehicle went all the way up, we enjoyed ourselves there and then came down,` Ghoom and Sukhiapokhri, on the outskirts of the town, witnessed hailstorms today. Subir Sarkar, in charge of the weather station in North Bengal University said a western disturbance across the region was responsible for the snowfall and it would continue for last 24 hours. `There are chances of fresh snowfall,` Sarkar said.
