Friday, winter still clenched northwestern Africa in its frigid
grip. Snow still blanketed uplands of the Atlas in Algeria and
Morocco: 6 inches of snow cover clung to Miliana, Algeria. Low
temperatures were in the 10s over a wide area with 13 degrees being
observed at Setif, Algeria and Midelt, Morocco. Southwestern Europe
shared in the big chill early Friday with Spain registering 4 degrees
at Teruel, 14 and Madrid and 15 -- 21 degrees below average -- at
Gerona.
Friday, snow was still falling over the highlands of the
western Balkan Peninsula. At Niksic, Crno Gora (Montenegro), snowfall

Now this was a wild week of weather! Saint John`s, NF, Canada,
has, within the last seven days, seen rain, sleet and snow equivalent

Eastern Kamchatka, Russia, has been left all-but snowbound in the
wake of a nor`easter this week. Three days of heavy snowfall along the
