Intense cold and snow in many European countries – Jan 27, 2005 - In the Balearic Islands, which received the first snow in decades, temperatures on Menorca plunged to 0.4C, as opposed to the average January average temperature of 13C. Meanwhile, snow forced the closure of mountain roads on the island of Mallorca; two-meter (6-foot) snowdrifts closed two motorways in central Croatia; some central and southern areas in Italy received up to 5 cm (2 inches) of snow, and Vesuvius displayed its snow-capped peak.
In Granada, Spain, temperatures fell to minus 9C, more than 10 degrees below average. Vitoria, Spain, received several inches of snow; mountain passes were closed in the northern Cantabria region, and heavy snow (30cm, or 12 inches) fell in Vienna, Austria.
