In Great Britain it is a big chaos. Snow, ice and the big cold affected all parts of Great Britain. Hundreds of schools are closed, and a lot of workers have to spend their days at home, because most roads are to icy to drive on, train companies are having big trouble to drive and most airports are closed. On wednesday, 20,000 houses had experienced power cuts. Temperatures of -17C in Britain are matching temperatures of Moscow. Even in city centres the temperature is far below 0C. It is Britains longest cold snap since 1981, and nobody knows it is going to end. Steve Ellison said there is no end in sight, and that it is going to be the same weather for at least a few more days. And that's not all, the prediction for the upcoming days is that there is more snow to come, and that the temperature will remain very low.
Big parts of Europe are suffering from the cold and snowy weather conditions. I like these weather conditions, but for countries it is a big problem. Millions of people are unable to get into work in Great Britain, which costs hundreds of million pounds every day. In some parts of Great Britain more than 50cm of snow felt down. I think that also these weather conditions are a result of the global warming. The earth is warming up, so it is strange to say that very cold weather conditions are results of global warming, but I think it is. Global warming causes more extreme weather conditions, and I think this is one of it. For children it is very nice, but for countries and companies it is a disaster.
