Uttarakhand sees surprise snowfall and heavy rain from western disturbance
Char Dham roads blocked, crops threatened 
The India Meteorological Department says this rough weather could stick around.
The Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage is facing big hurdles as snow blocks roads to Kedarnath and Badrinath 12 days before the season starts (the pilgrimage opens on April 19).
Farmers are also having a tough time: rain and hail are posing a threat of heavy damage to rabi crops right before harvest, leaving many worried about major losses.
The cold wave has not stopped at Uttarakhand; Delhi-NCR has seen rain and thunderstorms as well.
