Europe paralysed as arctic weather brings snow and ice !

On 01.07.10, In Climate, News, Photos, By Silandi

07.01.2010 – 14:33  Winter has Europe firmly in its icy grasp, as a low pressure front develops over the Mediterranean into a winter storm.

Schools closed, flights cancelled as winter bites.

  And it’s headed right for Germany!

Much of the UK has already been left in chaos after heavy snow, while the Dutch were able to don their ice skates thanks to some permafrost.

In Eastern Europe, slightly milder temperatures have led to dangerous ice – but Norway has been suffering in arctic minus 41 degrees Celsius conditions.

The whole continent has the shivers!

Now Germany must prepare for the low pressure front, called ‘Daisy’. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), it is “pumped full of moisture” and will pass over the country and then into Poland.

In the weather video above, you can see ‘Daisy’ as a circling red point from Portugal over the Med towards Central Europe.

In cold air a lot of snow is set to fall in the south and east of Germany on Friday, according to meteorologist Dorothea Paetzold, with parts of the country set to see 45cm.

And the “very explosive mixture” is set to bring in dangerous storms on Friday and Saturday.

The weather is playing havoc across the continent, with train services badly affected and supplies of road salt running low. Factories are working around the clock to produce more.

CHICAGO (AFP) – Heavy snow blanketed much of the central United States Thursday after a massive winter storm left residents battling frigid temperatures and icy roads.

Some parts of Michigan and Ohio were expected to get as much as several more feet (up to a meter) of snow as the system which has battered the country since Sunday made its way northwards up into Canada.

“This one came roaring through, it came in off the west coast, started really getting put together in Utah and then just blasted across the plains,” said Pat Slattery, a spokesman for the National Weather Service.

“As the system moves through, back behind it all this Arctic air came pouring south out of Canada and sweeping across the plains.”

High winds were creating blizzard-like conditions even in areas where the snow had stopped falling by pulling snow drifts up off the ground, Slattery told AFP.

Those winds were also adding a bitter bite to the already freezing winter air, complicating efforts to dig out from under the heavy snow.

Wind chills were forecast to range from -15 to -30 Fahrenheit (-26 to -34 Celsius) from Wyoming to Wisconsin and even Iowa and Missouri for the next few days. (more…)
