Cold deaths across Europe as deep freeze continues

A cold wave across Europe has left at least 23 dead in the past two days, including several migrants and homeless people, authorities said Saturday, with the frigid temperatures expected to continue through the weekend.

Russia meanwhile celebrated the coldest Orthodox Christmas in 120 years, and even Istanbul was covered with a blanket of snow.

Ten of the latest victims of the cold perished in Poland where temperatures were as low as minus 14 degrees Celsius (seven degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday.

Our shuttle driver said it was the first snow there in 5 years.

There are thousands of street cats in Istanbul. If you've ever seen cats walking in snow, you know their gait is step, shake snow off paw, step, shake snow off paw, and repeat.
