Icy temperatures and snow are causing problems across Western Europe.
South-east England saw the worst snow for 18 years, with all London buses pulled from service. One of Heathrow Airport's runways remains closed.
In Paris, flights were delayed and snow caused several road accidents, although the state forecaster said the quantities of snow were not unusual.
Snowfalls also snarled traffic in several parts of Spain, including the Madrid area, on Sunday.
Up to 20cm of snow fell in parts of Switzerland overnight, while part of the road around the San Bernardino tunnel was closed.
Meanwhile, a storm disrupted ferry travel from the Spanish port city of Algeciras to Morocco, authorities said.
The season’s first snowstorm hit New York, closing schools and canceling flights. New Yorkers had to leap over puddles from a dusting of snow that turned into torrential rain. Some did it in style while others landed in deep sludge. See video: "On the street - water dance"

OdpovedaťOdstrániťwelcome Vartkes. Would you like to help me in this jumping competition.?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťavec plaisir, dear sweety bright eyes
OdpovedaťOdstrániťI would love to,
Happy Sunday
Thank you Vartkes. You are really a gentleman. Brrrr. That deep slush is really familiar to me. I hate it and it ruins my shoes. Happy Sunday to you as well.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťits a wonderful picture, may I have it? Very artistic pause.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťyes , sure. Wish you a nice day Vart.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťLol, that picture is funny.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťDo you always wear high heels in the snow? Don't your legs get cold?
yes buck, very often, but the snow is not very long in the city...
OdpovedaťOdstrániťSo, Europe is getting a variety of adverse weather also. So have the States. It has been a bitter winter for many. But, the good news is, Spring is on the way. Thanks for the sharing. I try to follow News and weather worldwide. You must do similar. Hug. Three.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťDid you watch that video about "jumping competition" in NYC by Bill Cunningham from The New York Times, which I added to my blog??
OdpovedaťOdstrániťNew York Times Photographer Bill Cunningham has a great photographic study of people jumping over puddles. It's exactly the sort of thing that's every day enough to forget about but a pretty interesting piece....his commentary might even be better than the pictures. Hug. Regina
wow! I'm sent from Mr. Three as a recommendation. It has been very snowy in Michigan as well. In my area, I can't say its been out of the norm, but in northern michigan there has been three times the snow than last year. We are used to the snow, but the chaos it creates can be quite challenging. I enjoyed your blog. Spring will be here soon, xx
OdpovedaťOdstrániťThank you Cinabear for your visit and it was nice to meet you. The snow is coming to us a bit later but with a large quantity. I'm looking also forward to spring. Hug.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťThanks. I wish more had come, but we will do this again, as I start doing the 3 recommendations again. I quit doing them months ago. I have missed doing it. Thanks for being a good host. Hug. Three
OdpovedaťOdstrániťThanks for your visit.Hug. Regina
