Freezing weather hits Europe
Snow and freezing weather has swept parts of Europe in these days causing travel chaos. The freezing weather of Europe is showing no signs of easing, with warnings the big chill could continue through until next week. Blizzards in central and southern England have brought more road and rail chaos, forced airlines to suspend flights and hundreds of schools to close. It can be regarded as the Britain’s harshest cold snap in 30 years. From January 6, a cold snap has swept across Europe, with rain and snow slamming northern France, Paris and Bordeaux. An overnight snowstorm with a snowfall of over 20 centimeters in some area hit Moscow, causing traffic jams.
Here are some images that are recorded in several parts of Europe:
