Six people have died in weather-related accidents as the continent reels from the most bitter cold snap of the winter so far. Five of those deaths were confirmed in France on Tuesday, while a woman died in Bosnia as heavy snow and rain sparked floods and power outages across the Balkans. For those without homes sleeping on the streets, the cold snap has come as a huge shock. Schiphol Airport said more than 700 flights had been cancelled so far and warned that the number was likely to increase.
