Okay, so they aren't blaming global warming. After all, it the temperature goes down and it is cold as hell, the planet can't be warming, can it?
Then again, liberals might tell you otherwise. It shows their consistent lunacy.
Cold snap grips Europe
PARIS/BERLIN (Reuters) - A sudden winter freeze gripped parts of northern Europe on Saturday with heavy snowfalls cutting power, cancelling football matches and spreading air and road traffic chaos.
In Paris, the Eiffel Tower was shut for most of Saturday as ice made its staircases treacherous, while heavy snowfalls meant thousands of people in France and Germany faced plummeting temperatures without electricity.
"We hope power will be restored tonight. Our teams are out there working on it," a spokeswoman for Electricite de France said. Some 7,000 homes out of 17,000 that suffered power failures in France's western Vendee region overnight were still without electricity by nightfall on Saturday, she added.
A quarter of a million people were also without electricity in Germany's most populous state of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW), authorities there said on Saturday.
Oh, well. As we here at Joobo like to say, "You gets what you deserves."
