Extreme weather conditions across Europe, America and other parts of the world have disrupted normal life. This is being seen as a result of climate change.
Below freezing temperatures and snow caused traffic and train delays in Poland and Germany.
Severe weather conditions in central and southern Poland also caused problems.
France was no different, where the Eurostar train was stranded on return from Paris near Ebbsfleet in Kent due to extreme weather conditions.
In London, the first snowfall of winter has left much of England in an icy grip with power lines down, schools closed, motorists stranded and air travellers at many airports wondering when they will take off.
