Severe winter weather sweeps Europe

It's not just China that's suffering from a cold winter. Snow and freezing temperatures are also sweeping across Europe. Transport systems are among the most affected.

In Spain, wintry conditions persisted in Madrid on Monday, with temperatures falling to minus two degrees Celsius.

The snow disrupted the city's transport and closed many schools.

Authorities advise the public to avoid driving when ever possible or use public transport.

The local government also dispatched thousands of workers and machines to clear the snow.

Madrid Resident, said, "I like to stay at home, but to be in the street or to go to work tomorrow, I don't like it at all."

But for some people, snow brings back happy memories.

Madrid Resident, said, "This is a hard winter like the old winters. In fact I like the snow."

In Germany, life is slowly getting back to normal, after a weekend of heavy snowfall and traffic chaos.

Main traffic routes in Berlin are clear, and workers are continuing to remove snow from side streets.

Angela Leonard, Berlin Resident, said, "We don't have a car anyway, so it doesn't matter really. The buses are a little bit less regular than normal, but we have our sled."

Farmers in the UK are suffering major losses due to frost damage. It may cause prices to rise.

Billy Logan, Scotitish Farmer, said, "A bad case scenario I suppose would be maybe 30-40 percent, and then total losses obviously even worse."

In Moscow, temperatures dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius on Monday. But Russians think it's normal for the time of year, and carried on with their daily routines.

Heavy snowfall also caused havoc in some other European countries, causing hundreds of traffic accidents, downing power lines in Poland and halting flights out of southern France.
