The best part about winters in Pakistan is that after months and months of hot and humid weather, people can finally fulfill their cravings of wearing proper winter gear.
In the long run, the winter season also becomes a competitive banter/rant stage for people from different cities on social media. If there is rain in Karachi, Lahoris jump to the occasion, reminding Karachiites that they barely get any rain.

However, days change, so do situations. Last night, there were ample hailstorm in Lahore for Lahoris to dub and call it snow, which is fine, if you see the broader perspective. After a handful of years, Lahoris finally saw the cold, white droplets of water, fall in the late hours.
As it started ‘snowing’ in Lahore, people took to social media with pictures and videos of the hailstorm, enjoying the amazing weather and moments as the hail continued to fall.
However, people from other cities, basically rest of Pakistan, was quick to remind Lahoris that all they got was hailstorm and not snow – but hey, how can you deny all the snowmen they’ve made?

The pictures of the ‘snow’ in Lahore look beautiful, but let us also see the other side of the story!

Regardless of it being snow or hail, the thing is that Pakistan has waited for this weather for so long, and finally, the heat is dying out this winter season. If you still feel jealous of the hail/snow in Lahore, you really might want to cool yourself, maybe take a trip to Lahore?
