Snowfall in the higher reaches of Himachal Pradesh crippled daily life in the tribal Lahaul & Spiti and Kinnaur districts and sent 441 roads, including five national highways in the State, inaccessible.
The State's mid and low hills were lashed by rain intermittently.
The Met office in Shimla has issued a 'red warning' for Saturday with prediction of thunderstorms with lightning, hailstorm and heavy rain at isolated places accompanied with gusty winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kilometres per hour.
