Europe is still dealing with a record breaking cold streak. Temperatures in Eastern Europe have been hovering around -22°F and with record snow on top of that, some folks are not making it out alive. Over 300 people have been reported dead due to the cold weather and most of the dead are homeless individuals who succumbed to hypothermia.
In Serbia, schools were closed to save power so hundreds of kids flocked to the nation's capital parks to sled and make snow angels. Also in some of the mountainous regions snow totals amount to almost 15 feet of snow, making it difficult for rescuers to even see the rooftops of houses. Rome also had some of its heaviest snowfall in decades.
In Northern Germany penguins at a zoo are also having a bit of trouble with the cold. As the penguins exited their pool, the water would freeze to their heads and feet, making it difficult for them to move around. Who would have thought it could be too cold for a penguin!
