Central, Eastern Europe in Deep Freeze
Europe’s current cold snap held on in central and eastern parts of the continent on Monday, taking a high death toll.
Police in Poland said Monday the current wave of sub-zero temperatures has claimed 62 lives. Homeless shelters in the country have dropped their ban on intoxicated people as the mercury falls below -20 degrees Celsius during the night.
More than 300 have died Europe-wide due to the cold snap.

Where do you come up with -60? -20C is only about -4F. Try living in Fairbanks where the weather has been below -50F, with HIGHS in the -40F range.
Granted, we've been damn lucky so far this winter, with it being as "warm" as we have, but there have still been plenty of mornings where I've seen -20F WITHOUT the windchill, and if you got into the north country you'll be pushing -40F or worse.

My fault... I pulled it from a different headline at another site.

Hey! This is Glow Balls Warming, thou shalt not question!

That's what they get for driving those little tiny cars and using green energy.

So, if you are green, you attract all the global cooling into your microclimate ? I still struggle with the logic of the left.
