So the phase of the maximum cold in our part is on. Yet quite ferociously. It tests people even within homes. At places, minimum dropped to almost Freezing ! No snow here but the winds make the matters worse. Those on Roads and without proper clothing suffer the most although authorities here have tried to provide shelters at a war footing. Here is the news link that states how low the mercury (minimums) went : Between almost freezing to 3 C. And well, for a relative idea, we also face almost 45 C days in summers and multiple 40 C ones - so quite a range ! Plus when cold weather does not gets you, fog + smoke (Smog) dominates. Morning saw dense fog till 10 AM.

@Ineeddentures I can come if most of the time has to be indoors with room heating. Not otherwise ! By the way, you seem to be back here after a break!

@snowy22315 Not that close but it would perhaps take a day and a half by road. Some places in Gangetic Plains are close to Nepal. They lie to our east.

Oh wow! That's very cold. It would be awful to be without shelter when it's so cold.

@JudyEv Yes, Governments here have taken a lot of welfare steps but still there is always a possibility of some people missing out. Public at large and NGOs distribute blankets at times but still gaps do remain.
