In Poland, eight men have frozen to death due to heavy snow and falling temperature. Police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski said the men, all of whom had been drinking alcohol, died alone. Unseasonally heavy snowfall continued to wreak winter havoc across Europe. The big freeze severely disrupted airports across Europe with Edinburgh airport in Scotland, Lyon-Bron airport in south-eastern France, and Geneva, Switzerland's second biggest airport, all shut as staff struggled to clear the runways.
