[WashingtonPost] Computer model forecasts are advertising a bout of bitter cold to sweep over Europe over the next several days, very possibly the most extreme of the winter and perhaps in several years."The well anticipated most widespread #cold temperatures across northern Eurasia since #winter 2013 is imminent," tweeted Judah Cohen, a meteorologist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, a weather risk management firm.
The European media are describing the incoming frigid air as the "beast from the east" since its source region is Siberia.
