Yes. In each of the last three winters, modelled snow fell at Jibhi's coordinates in January, February and March, and in December in one of the three. The first snow day (at least 1 cm) was 31 January 2024, 8 December 2024 and 2 January 2026. Those winters had 12, 16 and 10 snow days and 100.1, 123.3 and 75.2 cm of modelled snowfall. The figures come from Open-Meteo's historical weather archive for Jibhi (31.634 N, 77.347 E), November to March.

When will it snow in Jibhi? Snowfall in Jibhi forecast

Nobody can say this far out. What the record shows is that the first snow day has fallen anywhere between 8 December and 31 January, and that December has been the gamble: it had snow in one winter out of three. January swung the most, from 7.2 cm to 51.8 cm. If snow is the reason you are coming, January to early March has been the safer window. Keep your dates flexible and check the forecast a week out.

Winding road through the Himachal mountains

These are model estimates for one point on a map, not readings from a gauge in the village. The weather model's grid at this point sits at 1,540 m, and the village and the slopes above it will not match it exactly. Shoja sits higher, at 2,250 m, so these figures describe Jibhi's point on the map and are not Shoja's.
