Winter snow woes go on for northern Europe | euronews, world news
Some northern and western parts of the UK have been hit by a white-out for several days now.

Temperatures have dropped to record levels and in the north, the snow is the deepest it has been since 1974.

The mercury is also at record low levels here in France.

-15.3 was measured during the night in Orleans, where the record for the time of year was last set in 1946.

“It is very unusual for a period of easterly winds to bring such heavy and prolonged snowfall. In fact for November, the amounts of snow this year have been the heaviest and most widespread in the UK since 1993 and the deepest November snow since 1965.
