Europe sees first snow of the year as winter moves in

Parts of Europe have seen the first snowfall of the year as wintery conditions move across the continent.

Temperatures in Stockholm, the Swedish capital, dropped to -4 degrees Celsius (24.8F) as the city was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Berlin's landmarks were similarly blanketed with more snow forecast for next week.

And in Ukraine, storms dumped up to 25 centimetres across the country's south, where authorities have reported 10 deaths as a result of extreme weather.
