A mini ice-age has caused record-low temperatures in Eastern Europe and rare heavy snow across the continent. Reports from hospitals and emergency agencies put the death toll over the past several days at more than 300 as of Monday.

Finland’s temperatures plummeted to 40 degrees below zero. The Netherlands saw its coldest weather in 15 years. Even Algeria in North Africa had snow and ice on the ground.

Eight inches of snow fell on Rome, the largest single snowfall here in 26 years. Snowdrifts reached 6 feet outside the city. Cars were abandoned on roads. The farm industry group Coldiretti said 2 million cows and pigs could die for lack of food and water.
