“It has not snowed this heavily in Bucharest since 2008, when 57 cm fell,” meteorologists commented.
Energy Minister Bogdan Ivan told a news conference that 200,000 households across the country were left without electricity and 266 towns were affected. School classes were cancelled in many places in Romania.
