1. More here from Monday

Blizzards in Slovenia have left one in four homes without power, with heavy snow and ice bringing down electricity lines and trees.

South-western areas have been hardest hit and the government has spoken of a large-scale natural disaster.

Some 250,000 people have been affected by the extreme weather which began on Friday.

The severe conditions have also hit Croatia and Serbia, where hundreds of people have been rescued from the snow.

On Monday, Serbian police began removing lorries which had been stuck for days on the main road between Novi Sad and the northern town of Subotica.

2. Amazing only 25% lost power

I would have expected a total blackout.

3. Watching that video made me nauseated and a bit frightened..

The roads were somewhat clear in sections…but the never-ending snow and ice
Like those who say their idea of camping is a..three star hotel..My idea of snow is a...cone.
