Frosts below -40,0°C should appear until the end of the current week, practically and temperature records should be even lower.

Cold weather has a bad impact on the virological situation, heart attack rates, many kinds of cancer, or should cause hypothermia.

Blizzards should cause widespread problems on roads, highways, or railways and power outages, including metropolitan areas.

If you live in /not only northern/ Europe, we highly recommend you to watch current weather news, forecasts, warnings, and advisories.
