Last night it had dipped to =-5 degrees.

" Last night it had dipped to =2 degrees."

Temperature last night

Pipelines in Abu froze, and the residents had to wait till the sun was up to thaw them. Imagine having your morning wash in icy cold water, more- so, for us who do not use toilet paper. FROZEN BUTT!

Mount Abu’s cold wave situation is worse with the icy wind blowing over. Quite a few folks leave for the plains to avoid staying here through the winter months. The wind right now is chilly. I have taken this opportunity to bang off a few lines to upraise you about our situation.

Welcome to all those heading here for the New Year. Because of the pandemic this year, the winter festival will not take place. Wish All a pleasant stay BE SAFE.

Christmas in the year of the Pandemic. Mount Abu.(22/12/2020 )

"There's no place like home for your Christmas bash in this pandemic year."

Mount Abu 22 Dec 2020.

Celebrations for Christmas will be low-key, just like our other festivals. COVID-19 has put a damper on all Social gatherings and mass merrymaking. This year the traditional midnight mass on the eve of Christmas that ushers in the celebrations of Christmas will not happen because of guidelines laid down by social distancing guidelines.

It's jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way oh, one slip in social distancing, will destroy your ride, and send you packing in an ambulance to the gateway to .......!

Every time a bell rings, the coronavirus goes for a swing,

Every time we hear cheers, the virus looks at us with fear,

The lights on the trees act like beacons wishing you all,

A stress-free magical holiday season.

Spread your Christmas Cheer, singing loud for all to hear.

"MERRY Christmas"

MERRY Christmas

Mount Abu shivers night temperature down to 0 C. [ 17 Dec 2020.]

Mount Abu Freezes at 0 degrees.

Abuites woke up to a frosty morning. Last night was chilly and the chilly wind made it worse. A wonderful time to sit out in the garden and bask in the sun. November was exceptionally chill this year. The first week of December was pleasant.

With the return of the retreating monsoons, Abu goes back to face the cold wave that is sweeping Rajasthan. Night temperatures have fallen constantly. Last night Abu saw its first 0 degrees for this winter season.
