February 5, 2013
A line of stranded vehicles are pictured as truck drivers warm themselves by a fire while they wait for the reopening of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway in the outskirts of Jammu on February 5, 2013. Kashmir remained cut off from the rest of the country as heavy snowfall in the Pir Panjal mountain range closed the Srinagar-Jammu highway and delayed all scheduled flights to the valley, authorities said. The highway is the only road connection between the landlocked valley and the rest of the country. AFP PHOTOSTRDEL/AFP/Getty Images
