It was coldest night of the winter so far after the minimum temperature recorded a further drop and settled at minus 0.2 degree, more than four notches below normal in the city, where business and other activities remained shut. The morning walkers, including women and children, could be seen wearing woollen clothes with their faces and head covered because of chilly winds. However, the Sun was playing hide and seek.

However, Pahalgam, about 100 km from here which remains deserted with tourists around due to unrest for the past four months in the valley, was coldest in the valley. The minimum temperature witnessed further drop and it was minus 4.6 degree, about five notches below normal. Water bodies and taps were frozen at several places during the night but melted as the day progressed due to above normal maximum temperature.
