I'm flying to Nepal this week from Hong Kong with my wife. I'd like to ask anyone in Pokhara right now if you could please advise me about the temperature there.

According to the weather undergound website for Pokhara:

http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/44434.html<BR><BR>it has been snowing there and it drops below freezing at night time, and it is due to dip to -20 celsius by next weekend when we had planned to be there. But according to my lonely planet guide, it is normally quite mild there and warmer than Kathmandu, so this must be very unusual. Is anyone there at the moment? Is it as cold as it sounds? If so we may consider avoiding Pokhara if for this reason!

Thanks in advance for your advice
