Erratic weather conditions continued to affect Jammu &amp; Kashmir on Wednesday, bringing widespread rain, snowfall in higher reaches, and triggering a major landslide that blocked the vital Jammu–Srinagar National Highway (NH-44), leaving thousands of traveller's stranded.&nbsp;According to the Meteorological Centre in Srinagar, most parts of the Valley experienced generally cloudy skies with intermittent light to moderate rain, while higher elevations witnessed snowfall. Thunder, hailstorms, and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 km/h were also reported at isolated locations.
