A deadly avalanche occurred in Kosovo and covered Rome in snow for the second time this week. The avalanche killed a married couple, and their son. There are nine people reported missing. This isn't the only report of snow. Two feet of snow covered Podgorica in Montenegro which was the most snow this city has since the year 1949. The snow has been so bad that airports have had to close. Just last weekend around 131 people died in the Ukraine when the temperatures dropped below freezing. Even the Pope said, "The snow is beautiful but let's hope that spring comes soon."
This is newsworthy because the weather is effecting many people all across Europe. Deaths have polled in Poland, France, Italy and Hungary. This effects people living in these countries and people traveling for business or pleasure.
Freezing Cold in Europe
Is this the coldest winter in Europe?
