More than 50 people have died since the beginning of winter in Poland due to cold weather. This was announced on February 2 by Polish Deputy Interior Minister Weslaw Szczepanski.

"The wave of severe frost is reaching its climax. We have sad information about new victims. Now we have information about 54 dead. We also have information about 36 victims of hypothermia," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Shchepansky advised people who live in abandoned buildings to move to warmer places, as they are more likely to fall victim to frosts. He added that next night will be the coldest since the beginning of winter, with temperatures in Poland likely to drop to -29 degrees.

The Associated Press (AP) reported on January 30 that the number of victims of a powerful snowstorm that hit the United States reached 85 people. About half of the deaths were recorded in Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, where tens of thousands of homes are still without electricity due to icy conditions and low temperatures. It is reported that in Tennessee, social workers, along with police and firefighters, are checking on residents who have not been reported for several days.
