Video of the Day: Snow on the beach in Split, Croatia
Extreme cold and snow have gripped parts of Europe in ways that the continent has not experienced in years. The images of people struggling to cope with the elements are chilling (no pun intended). Even in Split, Croatia, a coastal town on the Adriatic Sea, snow has blanketed the beaches as temperatures have plunged nearly 30 degrees below average for this time of year. Seeing people walk along the palm tree-lined shore as snow falls unrelentingly is almost too incongruous to process.

I'll be traveling half way to Split from Zagreb tomorrow -- hopefully by train -- but trains are uncertain. All ate mortified about lives lost north of here, but it seems the weather here is sort of a bewildering, tolerated, yet revered, novelty in the capitol city of Croatia (and perhaps down south in Split, judging by 30-seconds of footage -- kind of like the hurricane in NYC.)
