At least 60 dead in Europe as snow, floods cause havoc

At least 60 people have died across Europe during the current cold snap, as snow plagued transport in Britain on Friday and serious flooding prompted mass evacuations in the Balkans.

Seventeen people died in Central Europe in the last 24 hours from the cold, bringing the total this week to 45. A further 11 died in Russia, plus three in France and one in Germany, according to local authorities.

At least 30 people, mainly homeless men, have died in Poland in the past week, and temperatures dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius overnight

3. We didn't have snow today - a first since Turkey Day. We do have the cold and ice.

I'm afraid to look out right now....in case the snow has started back.

6. I'd love to see the pics

That would bring back memories.
Now I'm craving Glühwein and Spekulatius. Hmm, I might have to fake the 1st with some mulling spices and make the latter. Time to dig through the drawer and find my roller to make the cookies.

Have fun!
