The visibility recorded was 100 meters in the morning and the minimum temperature was a notch below average at 5.1 degree Celsius due to the icy winds blowing from the Himalayas.

Railway passengers had to wait for hours, as the trains were stopped enroute and delayed by over 12 hours due to thick fog.
