A Bosnian man shovels deep snow, to clean a path for pedestrians, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. Eastern Europe's unrelenting and deadly cold snap produced another heavy snowfall in the Balkans on Saturday, trapping people in their homes and cars, causing power outages, and closing airports, railway stations and bus services. In Bosnia, about 30 people whose vehicles were trapped in a tunnel south of Sarajevo called local radio stations to appeal for help, saying they had children with them and were running out of fuel.

  • The snowfall totals are high in some places, but a bunch of those pics are on the shore where the spray freezes into those dramatic looking sculptures. The person who parked that car is probably rather unhappy…

  • Best part about this storm is Mini Cooper bought the naming rights to this storm and it ended up killing over 100 people. Worst marketing decision ever? Maybe.

  • It's predicted to plummet to near minus 30 degrees Celsius (which isn't really that rare in Estonia, for example). IT'S JUST BEGINNING.

  • the thermohaline circulation of the gulf stream is what has kept Europe so temperate through the centuries. It was predicted that climate change would disrupt that, and it appears that this may indeed be occurring.  but don't worry, oil companies and republicans tell us that climate change is a myth. i'm sure their right…

  • I waited 45 minutes for a bus in -50 Celsius once. This is probably very cold for most of the people it's affecting, but it is not cold. That's still, “take socks off instead of putting shoes on to fetch item from car” weather.

  • I've had to go to school when it's been colder than that. I play the world's tiniest violin for Europe. They've enjoyed better weather for just about for-fucking-ever compared to the northern Midwest. If I can enjoy another nice winter like this one and Europe suffers again, I won't feel even a little bit bad about it. I bet some Russians are shaking their heads, calling some of these people in Spain a bunch of pussies if they can't take it.
