Just watched a brief BBC newsclip - it's certainly cold in Europe at present. I think February can often bring you severe weather?

Its very snowy now especially in eastern europe,serbia,austria,romanija,Bulgaria and to former russian area.though the adriatic area still very cold too as alls had a very dry autumn and lulled with a mild winter till a week ago.

After a very warm part of this winter, we had two incredible weeks!

On Jan 31st it start snowing here in Rimini, but after 1 hour the wind from NE, which is warm because it pass over the mountain (fohn) and over the Adriatc sea which temperature was +7°C that day, it started rain... A lot of Rain!!
On feb 1st we had 88.9mm of rain!
But the very cold air from Siberia arrived on Feb 3rd when we had 4cm of snow with -5°C. The day after we had 20cm of snow with NE winds (it was the third time from 1955). The waves of the adriatic sea started icing on the harbour...
There was a lot of wind (gusts over 60km/h, windchill under -10°C) and a heavy snowfall. Over 500m there was about 150cm of snow.
