...were cut off from their supplies. Three feet of snow covered Bulgaria, and in Greece army units roamed the countryside with hay for starving livestock. Ice clogged both the Mississippi and the canals of Venice; a blizzard snapped a power cable in the Bosporus, halting all shipping between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
