The so-called “cold invasion” the Netherlands is experiencing this week is extremely rare: the combination of heavy snowfall, very low temperatures, and bitter winds is “only experienced by an average person a few times in their life,” according to meteorologist Alfred Snoek.

Europe is freezing again, as the ‘Beast from the East 2.0’ hits northern and eastern Europe
A
second winter wave dubbed ‘Beast from the East 2.0’ has hit Poland and
the UK, with other parts of northern Europe set to be affected this
weekend.
Poles endured heavy snowfall in Warsaw on Friday, as low temperature warnings were issued across 10 southeast voivodeships (provinces) in the country. As of Saturday, up to 25cm of snow and 40kph winds have been forecast in the south of Poland.
The cold snap there is expected to continue until March 22.
In the UK, residents across swathes of eastern England and Scotland have been braving the subzero temperatures to take some dramatic pictures of the snow.

Medical Alert: Put Your 'ICE' Number On Your Cell Phone
In case you have not heard of your ICE
number (In Case Of Emergency) this might be of importance.
Since most of us carry cell phones also please include in your phone telephone directory an ICE number. This is an internationally recognized emergency identification symbol known to global emergency services/ambulances/police/
With your ICE number listed on your phone the emergency services do not need to do any guess-work as to who to contact if you get involved in an emergency or life threatening situation.
It will take you only a few minutes to put your ICE number in your cell phone but could save you and your loved ones lots of trauma.
