Weather threatens more misery for Pakistan quake survivors

Forecasts of rain showers and light snow on earthquake-hit regions of northern Pakistan today threatened to compound the misery of hundreds of thousands of people living in the open with little or no shelter.

Temperatures were expected to dip to about 7 degrees Celsius in the shattered city of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and as low as -12 Celsius in the highest mountain villages, the Pakistan Meteorological Department reported.
