An employee of the Red Cross talks to a homeless person spending the night outside in Berlin, Germany, on Jan. 30, 2012. The cold weather creates a situation where shelters cannot accommodate everyone looking for a roof for the night. On the night of Jan. 29, 467 people sought shelter but only 315 places were available.

AP reporting from BELGRADE, Serbia -- Officials have appealed to people to stay indoors and be careful. Police searched for the homeless to make sure they didn't freeze to death. In some places, heaters will be set up at bus stations.
Still, 18 people, most of them homeless, died in Ukraine from hypothermia and nearly 500 people sought medical help for frostbite and hypothermia in just three days last week, the Emergency Situations Ministry said. Read more.

Our universe is changing my
I would love to one day visit the Blue Mosque...it appears to be an Amazing structure inspiring one to Pray to Allah.

Wow, look at all that snow. I love the snow and cold weather.
I live in Chicago and it's the warmest winter in 78 years. We've only had one storm which dropped 6-8 inches. Calling for almost 60 today at the end of January. The world is changing.
I live in Upstate New York and I am highly disappointed with the warm weather and lack of snow.
Yeah, comfortable weather sucks.
I can't stand hot, humid, and sticky weather. It's easier to warm the body up than to cool it down. I like the cold so long as the heat is working as it should.
Sounds like some type of Democratic party conspiracy. Darned liberals!
All Bush's fault
just aks Obama
Azar'El. It is a trip worth taking. I have been to Turkey many times. Plan on spending a few days in Istanbul. There are lots of wonderful things to see. Hit the little coffee shop between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and watch the Whirling Dervishes. With 7000 years of culture you will never run out of things to see and learn about.
brrrrrrr.... This is why I live in Florida and not Turkey, Bulgaria or the Ukraine...... I'm sure they are all beautiful in their own way . Much history and culture
Scrolling down the photos I see a palm tree. Looks tropical until I see the whole picture. Cold!
Ah all those unregulated factories around the world, all the forests in the world cut up and gone away replaced with concrete jungles. Enjoy!
Al Gore predicted all this a few years ago and people did not want to believe him. Extreme swings in temp world wide as the earth gets steadily warmer over all. An Inconvienient Truth.
Oh for the love of.... do your homework and see the cycles of the earth. We may have sped up the changes but this is the normality of the planet. We're just lucky enough to have lived in a calm period of the earths cycle. Things may get interesting soon. [Shrug]
Is Al Gore a supreme being that I should be praying to? If you remember he created the internet also.
Really Allen? I think you need to get your head checked buddy.
Jack, the ice isn't melting, continents aren't shrinking, there are no tornadoes across the US in winter, Texas did not suffer extreme high temperatures and drought - there are no famines due to drought in other countries. There is no increse in forest fires and flooding. And the north? This winter, just a blip. None of this is really happening. It's just a liberal trick. Shame on us liberals.
i thought the 2nd pic was a frozen girl omg -_-
That's exactly what I thought...kinda looks like a scene from that 80's movie Iceman.....
Encino man is the name of the movie and I thought so also. After looking at it again, Im still not so sure its not a frozen girl.
I think Annfortruth should see a mental health professional? Some serious issues??
I guess the weather doesn't matter since the Myans have predicted Dec. 21, 2012 as being the end of time. At least I won't have to go Christmas shopping.
