"Thirty-eight more deaths from a cold snap have been registered in Ukraine in the past 24 hours, bringing to 101 the toll from freezing temperatures across the former Soviet republic, the Emergencies Ministry said on Friday.
Ukraine is experiencing the coldest winter in six years, with overnight temperatures sinking as low as minus 33 Celsius (minus 27 Fahrenheit).

We are having a warm winter where I live in the US, which is no doubt causing the global warming enthusiasts to feel their oats. But I don't miss the bone-chilling cold myself. And in another part of the world, as we see in the above story, they are having a pretty hard winter. I have heard that very cold weather takes a greater human toll than very warm weather.
