Snow chaos wreaking havoc throughout Europe is set to get worse this weekend amid panic across the continent. The devastating snowfall has caused a transport crisis, stranded entire towns and left at least 21 people dead. This comes as forecasters predict that the record-setting subzero Arctic blast will continue to get worse.

Snow BURIES Europe as death toll rises but is BIG FREEZE heading to UK

Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Austria and the Baltic region are all suffering under treacherous subzero conditions this morning.

The German army has been deployed across several states to aid in clearing roads and evacuating residents.

Austria is experiencing one of its heaviest snowfall on record, bringing large parts of the country to a standstill.

Alexander Radlherr from Austria's Central Institution for Meteorology said that the European snowfall is unprecedented, with such extreme weather only occurring “every 30 to 100 years”.

The Austrian military even sent helicopters to blow snow off roads and treetops to reduce the risk of trees falling on roads and rails.
