As we experience one of the mildest winters I can remember here on the East coast of the United States, people in Europe are suffering from extreme cold temperatures.
So far over 300 people have died from the severe weather. Many homeless people have taken the brunt of the fatalities and simply froze to death in temperatures plummeting to -40 degrees Fahrenheit at night in many areas. The weather has affected much of Europe and has even crossed the Mediterranean into North Africa killing 16 due to accidents caused on the snow slick roads. I can only assume the residents aren't use to driving in the snow and that played a big part in these accidents.
Many of us complain when it's 30 or 40 degrees, imagine it being below 40. All I can say is "Wow".
