Cloudshooters do Delhi

January 14, 2012

Hail in Delhi!!!!!

HAIL!!!it doesn't happen often, but it does happen!

       
as you can see by the temperature it does get cold here, and moreso here in the farmhouse area - deduct about 3 degrees off the forecast Delhi temperature!  So we often get 1 or 0degrees on a January winter's morning
