Srinagar, Dec. 25 -- The cold conditions eased across Kashmir as the minimum temperature rose at most places and settled above the freezing point, officials said on Wednesday.

Owing to the overcast night skies after the recent snowfall and rains, the cold conditions eased across Kashmir and the night temperature rose at most places, officials said.

They said the minimum temperature stayed above the freezing point, barring Pahalgam tourist resort in south Kashmir, and the famous skiing resort of Gulmarg in the north.

The minimum temperature in Srinagar on Tuesday night was recorded at 3.0 degrees Celsius, up from 2.7 degrees Celsius the night before and 5.4 degrees above the season's normal, according to the officials.
