        January was the warmest ever according to the infallible and fully trustworthy climate scientists.

        Severe winter weather has brought dangerous conditions and transport disruption to parts of Europe.

        In the UK, thousands of schools were closed and travellers have been hit by major delays after heavy snowfall left swathes of the country at a halt.

        Temperatures as low as -22C (-8F) have left 122 dead in Poland this winter, while in central Norway temperatures plummeted to -41C (-42F) on Wednesday.

        In the Swiss Alps avalanches have killed at least seven people.

        A weather alert has been issued for 14 regions in south-western France that were hit by heavy snow.

        Tens of millions of people from Virginia to Massachusetts were digging out on Wednesday after blizzards covered the area with snow.

        US federal government offices remained closed for a fourth straight day as crews tried to clear the roads from snow drifts several feet deep.

        Wednesday's snowfall turned this winter into the snowiest on record for Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

        Forecasters warned of another storm which could hit the region on Monday.

          It's a bit odd DP,

          map 4 in the beeb link shows Poland being 10 degrees warmer than normal, yet the article says that 112 people died of the cold

              Argh! I have a great weekend planned back up north! Have a 4x4 but still really do not enjoy driving in poor conditions mainly due to the other cars that aren't 4x4's slipping and sliding around.

                I think the government should ban all non 4x4's.

                All these selfish 2-wheel drive types using an inappropriate car for the environment they are in.
