New Delhi: A relentless cold wave is sweeping through north India, leaving people shivering and desperately hoping for some respite. There has been heavy snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. And the Meteorological Department has predicted more snowfall in these states.
新德里：一場無情的寒潮席捲印度北部，遺下人們瑟縮抖顫及拼命地希望有一些喘息。一直有連場大雪在查謨和克什米爾、旁遮普邦、喜馬偕爾邦和Uttarakhand，而氣象部門預測在這些州會有更多的降雪。
The mercury has dipped to minus 5.5 degrees in Srinagar and minus 16 degrees in Gulmarg. What's worse, the Kashmir valley has been plunged into darkness with the collapse of the power infrastructure due to heavy snowfall. The Jammu Srinagar highway has also been closed for the last three days.
温度計在斯利那加已下降到零下5.5度和在古爾默爾格零下16度；更糟的是，克什米爾山谷已因為電力基礎設施由於大雪崩潰而陷入黑暗之中。查謨斯利那加公路在過去的3天也被封閉。
In Punjab, there has been snowfall as far as Pathankot which has seen snowfall after 40 years. The district normally experiences maximum temperature of up to 45 degree Celsius in summer. And that's what makes this change of weather very unusual.

Himachal has also seen heavy snowfall. Kangra has received snowfall after 35 years; the minimum temperature hovered around freezing point in most places and maximum day temperature plunged to 0.4 degree Celsius in Manali.
