...sudden roaring blast of the burners shatters the morning peace, as our pilot John forces the balloon higher. By now, a brilliant sun has burned off the early morning chill. We sail over Cessnock, an old mining town laid out like a chessboard, as a 75-carriage coal train snakes through the countryside. Another blast and we lift to 300 m. From that height we can see a 40-km stretch of the valley?a lush strip running east to west.

In Poland, experiencing its coldest winter in years, more than 200 people have died of exposure. Power lines snapped under the weight of the snow, cutting electricity supplies to 150 villages near Bialystock. A further 200 people died in Russia, where temperatures dropped to -24?C. One-third of the Czech Republic has been declared a disaster area as up to 4 m of snow closed roads. In Bulgaria, the most severe snowstorms in decades cut off dozens of towns...
