Frozen Slovenia Is Witnessing 'The Worst Devastation In Living Memory'
Three days of blizzards have inflicted "the worst devastation in living memory" in the small Alpine country of Slovenia, according to local media.
About 50,000 homes lost power as trees and electricity poles buckled under up to six inches of ice after oscillating temperatures caused some snow to melt and then freeze again.
The result: A frozen landscape.
