Yesterday was the coldest day of our city. The temperature not goes up 10 degree. This year winter is breaking its own old records. This Saturday was the coldest day of the January in last ten years. Condition is that there is less difference between maximum and minimum temperature. Sun tries to clear fog but its fail all the time.

Due to dense fog the city traffic was slow, most of people like to be stay in home and enjoying hot coffee, pakoda, samosa etc.
