The severe cold weather currently gripping Eastern Europe has now spread to Italy and as far south as Turkey. As many as 80 people have died, mainly in Ukraine and Poland, as the death freeze settles over the continent. Dan Britton, a press officer at Britain's Met Office, told ABC News the cold weather stems from "a large area of high pressure sitting over Eastern Europe, which has brought about cold temperatures over quite a large area." The Ukraine has suffered the most fatalities as emergency ministries confirmed 43 people had perished in minus-28 degree temperatures.

Global Warming kills again! Where's that hockey stick?!

The severe cold weather currently gripping Eastern Europe has now spread to Italy and as far south as Turkey.

As many as 80 people have died, mainly in Ukraine and Poland, as the death freeze settles over the continent.

Dan Britton, a press officer at Britain's Met Office, told ABC News the cold weather stems from "a large area of high pressure sitting over Eastern Europe, which has brought about cold temperatures over quite a large area."

The Ukraine has suffered the most fatalities as emergency ministries confirmed 43 people had perished in minus-28 degree temperatures.

While hospitals in Ukraine have treated more than 600 people for frostbite and pneumonia, many of the dead were homeless people who were unable to find shelter at night.

As Poland experienced minus-22 degree conditions, seven more deaths have been confirmed. Five were said to be homeless people.

Several people have also died in the Baltic states - the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia and Romania and Bulgaria - where until now temperatures had been well above normal for midwinter.

The heavy snow has caused transport chaos across Europe.

The German media reported the death of one woman was a result of her losing control of her car on the icy roads.

Heavy-goods vehicles have been barred from the freeways in Central Italy and cargo ships have been warned of ice floes on the Danube.

Even some areas of Romania's Black sea coastline have reportedly frozen over.

Forecasters have confirmed that this area of high pressure has come from Siberia.

"These kind of weather conditions occur every 20 to 30 years, last time in 1986 and 1956," Jurik Muller of the German Meteorological Service said.

With snow now falling in Istanbul and other parts of Turkey, the weather is likely to continue throughout the weekend.

So what's it like to be of the undead? Do you have special powers? Do you eat brains or suck blood from your victims?

Here near Paris,it is -5°C.

Well, that should help with the dog shit smell, until all those parisian sidewalk turds thaw out in the spring like little brown flowers. Are you downwind? How is that, what with the dog shit, typical concentrated frog body odor of the subways, and the couscous stench of banilieu ayrabs and their shit-encrusted left hands, and all those squat toilets...must be utterly revolting

We had a cold winter last year. We had a record cold summer. Now we are having a very mild winter but no where near any record colds.

Of those three events, which one is due to global warming and which two are just weather?

I get your point; this is not old build though.

Some of the roof beams are 18 inches by 12 inches. I think it`ll be safe....I think.

Also; lots of people die when they fall off the roofs raking snow.

But it might be fun jumping onto the drifts.

How much did you spend on the lawsuit against Google? Your "New Advanced Satellite" that does what we did 25 years ago?

Dogs tend to spread their urine and feces to inform other animals that it is their turf. Incidentally there are less dogshit in areas that are not tourist frequented.

Seems like dogs perceive fat american tourists as animals.

And about fucking time. I've just had the warmest winter in decades. I like a cold winter; plenty of snow and frost. What do I get? Rain and more fucking rain. The Met office has just said that we are due for a month of hard cold weather. On recent form that means that it'll piss down and be warm,
