Parts of North India may be shivering as the mercury drops, but that has not stopped meme-makers from showing off their creativity on social media. New Delhi today reported a record low temperature of 3.1 degrees Celsius, the lowest this season, as a cold wave swept across North India. A "severe" cold wave has also besieged Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, as well as parts of Telangana and Rajasthan this winter. On Twitter, #Coldwave was among the top trends as people shared weather updates and posted memes and jokes to take the edge off.
Here is a look at some of the best #ColdWave memes and jokes that are trending online:

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted severe cold wave conditions in parts of northwest India till December 21.
Two back-to-back western disturbances and the resultant slowing of cold northwesterly winds from Tuesday night will push the minimum temperature back up, said RK Jenmani, a senior scientist at the IMD.
A "severe" cold wave is when the minimum temperature dips to two degrees Celsius or the departure from normal is more than 6.4 degrees Celsius.
