Europe's cold snap

Many homeless people have died in cities around central and Eastern Europe. In some countries, as there was heavy snow and some people got trapped, the army had to help them out.

Most of them have died because they've been exposed to temperature not higher than -30ºC for days. Governments have put up tents to help them. In many cities you can find outside braziers placed in places where people use to wait for trains, buses, taxis, etc...

This cold snap won't disappear at least for the next weeks. Another problem is that countries are using gas for warm them up and it causes an increse of the gas consume during this period
