It turned to -21 when it was around 12 AM in midnight.i complete my 13 hour’s freezing night survival journey from 6:00 pm to 7:00 am . As i posted last evening the temperature, it was -18 in the evening but till 12 o’clock in the night the cold increased to -21. Although it was very cold but due to normal wind speed i felt easy enough to survive.
