Good morning everybody,
As you know this year Chandigarh was so cold as never before. As we like to enjoy the fog in evening time, thats feel us like we are living at any hill station.
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.
People face cold breeze and fog in the morning, 10 am temperature is just 10 degree. On 11 January 1999 city recorded is 8.2 degree, so there 1.2 degree difference in that.
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.
