Snow thickness exceeded 312 centimeters in 20 of the domestic and cross-border base areas affiliated to our Land Forces Command. In the Misalok Base Area in the north of Iraq, the snow depth approached one meter.
While temperatures fell below zero in more than half of the base areas, the coldest night was minus 25 in the Binbir Kapi Base Area in the Ikiyaka Mountains.
