Kashmir reeled under intense cold conditions on Tuesday with Srinagar experiencing the coldest night of the season so far, the weather office said. The minimum temperature across Kashmir and Ladakh remained several degrees below the freezing point on Tuesday owing to clear sky, an official of the Meteorological Department said.

He said Srinagar recorded the coldest night of the season so far as the minimum temperature in the city settled at minus 4 degrees Celsius last night over four degrees down from 0.2 degree Celsius the previous night, leading to freezing of water supply lines at several places. The city had recorded the same minimum temperature on December 8. The ski-resort of Gulmarg in north Kashmir recorded the low of minus 10.2 degrees Celsius last night down from the previous night's minus 8.5 degrees Celsius, he said.
