Snowfall has also occurred in many high altitude areas of Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

In states like Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, normal life has been adversely affected due to severe cold and dense fog. Movement from planes to trains to cars and buses has been badly affected.
