Europe: Record Lows, Snowstorms, and Power Cuts

A severe Arctic blast is set to grip much of Europe, tanking temperatures to below -30C (-22F) in Alpine regions and to potentially record-breaking levels across the likes of the UK. Heavy snowfalls and widespread disruptions are expected as the polar air plunges south, impacting nations from Scandinavia through Italy to Ukraine.

The UK could face temperatures below -12C (10.4F) which would rival the record low for the date: -14.9C (5.2F) from November 18, 1905 (Braemar, Aberdeenshire).
