    Parts of the Black Sea froze near the Romanian coastline and the rare snow fell on Croatian islands in the Adriatic Sea.


    I was on those islands in May, they looked like they hadn't seen snow for 100 years.

    Can't really be that surprised... they're pretty much on the same latitude as Toronto. I know, different environment, but still.
