Quetta: (Monday, January 28) People were delighted with the hailstorm followed by snowfall that started on Sunday night and continued till wee hours of Monday.
Quetta wore a sheet of snow covering the entire city, which looked like a white fairy. Large numbers of people thronged to picnic points and parks, especially Hanna Lake and other plain areas, to enjoy the snowy weather.
However, day laborers and commuters, including cyclists and bike riders, faced great difficulties while moving towards their destination as the roads became slippery, causing a number of minor road accidents.
Minimum temperature was recorded to be negative nine, with slight reduction in chilly conditions expected. Local Meteorological Office has forecast cloudy weather with chances of light rain during the next 12 hours.
The cold weather, accompanied with electricity and gas outages, has made life difficult for the people. Read our related stories here:

My name is Malcolm Callaghan and I was born in Quetta. I studied at the St. Francis Grammar School and graduated with a Senior Cambridge Certificate. Father Joshua was the Principal then.
I have the most fondest memories of Quetta between 1950 to 1968.I always think of the wonderful childhood I had in Quetta. It was a lovely little town and so clean. I will always love Quetta.
