Jan 24 10:11 AM US/Eastern
A glacial chill claimed more lives in across Eastern Europe, forcing schools to shut and disrupting public transport as cold cracked rail lines. In Poland, a total of 39 people have died since a cold spell hit the country last Thursday, bringing to 161 the number who have died this winter, many of them homeless, police said. Temperatures in the south of the country plunged to minus 35 degrees Celsius (minus 31 Fahrenheit), while the capital Warsaw shivered as the mercury registered minus 25 C (minus 13 F) overnight Monday-Tuesday.
