The Beast from the East 2 has driven some remarkable cold and snow across Europe.
Following the biggest snowfall since 2010 and second biggest since 1989 in February, Paris, France observed another 4cm but also observed it’s coldest maximum for late March since 1975 with a high of only 1.7C.
The day before it only reached 1.8C which according to Etienne Kapikian (@EKMeteo) is the first back to back days to fail to reach 2C for the 2nd half of March since 1888.
