Seems like western Europe's had a bit of a cold snap; I just got back from Berlin after apparently the coldest week they've had all winter (just my luck) around -10 to -14 C. Snowed on the day I flew out, which followed me across over Amsterdam (friend got snowed in) and even back in Manchester the day after. Manchester's even freezing now, which is...well, actually kind of rare. English weather seems to never go much beyond 0-25 degrees.
