Tanks roll in to frozen hell: Germany and Austria call state of emergency as troops save residents from NECK-DEEP snow after 21 deaths in worst winter for more than 30 years

A state of emergency has been declared across parts of Europe and tanks are being used to rescue homeowners from neck-deep snow in Germany and Austria following the deaths of at least 21 people, amid a devastating once in a generation winter whiteout.

In Switzerland, a 1,000ft-wide avalanche ploughed through the front of a hotel while diners were eating. They all survived but there have been 21 deaths on the European mainland after the worst snowfalls in living memory.

A brief break in the weather is allowing workers in southern Germany to try and clear heavy loads of snow from roofs and roads. Parts of Europe have been paralysed in recent days, cutting off mountain villages and disrupting transport.

Mountain rescue forces in Wolfratshausen, Germany along with police have been pictured clearing heavy snowfall from rooftops, while widespread emergency response units have been put in place to prepare for more bad weather.

There was a now infamous article in Der Spiegel in April 2000 in which our most renowned experts informed us that snow in our winter months is definetely a thing of the past because of global warming. So don´t believe your lying eyes, that´s just what we call “white global warming substance” in the pictures.
