I thought it was famous as the home of Dalai Lama!

Isn't 6th March of a year supposed to be part of the summer season?  If yes, how can bcci be blamed for this?

Himalayan foothills still experience cold spells in March.

In the 1st week of march 2017, we played a test against Aus at dharmshala.  And won it.  There were no rains/snow fall.  It was all dry and sunny. In fact, this is the best time to play at dharmashala.   It's a different story that this year it's raining (unfortunately)

There is a possibility of rain. Snow is unlikely in Dharmshala stadium itself. Only on higher reaches. Schedule was fixed long back so can't blame the schedule.

I am getting night time temp of -5 on my weather app.

Match should have been in Mohali instead of Dharmshala. It has been getting lots of matches that Mohali used to get back in days.

 

Even if there is no snow, outfield is going to be nightmare for fielding side.

This forecast is there for over a month now! They couldn't change it in 4-5 weeks?

I saw the same in BBC website and got shocked. But seems like it is a glitch as all other websites showing night time temp of 7 or 8 degrees.

Mohali is blocked by annadatas.

They should leave a lot of grass on the wicket. With the cold weather and moisture in the air will assist seam and swing also. That way it will challenge the young batsmen like Jaiswal, Gill, Jurel, Sarfaraz and also help seamers and challenge spinners as well. It's a dead rubber anyway and have nothing to lose. But expecting BCCI to have such foresight is a bit too much I guess.

No one forecasts more than 10-15 days.

[R!TTER]

There's a 30 day forecast available on most sites -

Accuracy of course is debatable but you can't do jack about weather 5 days before an event either!

[Majestic]

Nothing to worry, temperature will be between 12-16° during the match days. In night, the temperature might go down to 7-8°. It won't go below that.

That was in the last week of March 17.

We went with two pacers only.

 

[Frustrated]

Not many saw it coming.  But we are likely to get full 5 days of play.  Have to say this one is among the best wickets in India. Not to mention the picturesque stadium.    Forecast looks good for next 5 days.  There will be a clear winner and likely a perfect end to a memorable home series.
