EUROPE - Snowstorms lashed Western Europe Saturday causing
severe disruption to air, rail and road traffic in Belgium,
Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands and cutting off
power to thousands of households. Britain and France upped
weather alerts after three people froze to death, and
travelers were stranded in Germany on Saturday as a bitter
cold snap gripped western Europe. British forecasters said the
freezing temperatures were "PRETTY UNUSUAL" for November.

INDIA - At least 80 people were killed when two packed
passenger buses skidded off flooded bridges in India's
southern Tamil Nadu state following heavy rains. The river was
high due to unseasonal rains lashing parts of coastal Tamil
Nadu. Heavy rains - caused by low-pressure in the Bay of
Bengal - have been battering Tamil Nadu for the past several
days, disrupting rail and road travel. The rains have caused
widespread flooding in many parts of the state resulting in
the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from their
homes in coastal districts.

CANADA - Thick fog is not unusual in November - last year
there were 11 days when visibility was less than half a mile.
Having it stick around for nearly a week is, however, SOMEWH
AT RARE in this region. "Until we break the weather pattern,
the situation gets worse and worse." The fog was confined
primarily to coastal areas of south Vancouver Island and the
Lower Mainland. The fog was so dense in spots the past week
that the smoke from wood burning stoves was being pushed down
to near ground level by the heavy, moist air.
CANADA - A "pretty big" magnitude 5.4 earthquake on Saturday
hit the ocean depths 240 km southwest of Tofino. It was the
second quake in three days. A 2.9 shaker 10 km under the sea
occurred in the same region Thursday.

Tropical Storm Delta lost more strength on Saturday as it
threatened only shipping interests in the central Atlantic.
The six-month Atlantic hurricane season officially ends
Wednesday, but forecasters warn that tropical storms and
hurricanes can develop in December. [Record breaking season
may not be over!]

UNITED KINGDOM - Freezing temperatures and strong winds -
caused by winds direct from the Arctic Circle - created some
treacherous conditions, particularly in west Suffolk, the
likes of which are not normally seen until January or
February. Elsewhere in the country, the extreme weather
created chaos, with blizzards stranding motorists and forcing
schools to close.

PORTUGAL - Strong winds and intense rain caused damage across
the region. Houses were flooded, trees fell and walls
collapsed as a result of the violent storm that hit the
Algarve during the early hours of last Sunday morning, with
grey weather continuing into Tuesday. Those boroughs thought
to have been worst affected by the FREAK CONDITIONS
