The Arctic conditions sweeping Europe have tightened their grip, with more deaths reported in Poland and Ukraine, taking the toll to well over 200. 
Here in The Hague as you will see above the temperature tonight is due to drop to a chilly -10C.



In the Netherlands, speed-skaters are hoping that freezing conditions continue so they are able to hold an ice-skating marathon along a 125-mile (200k) network of canals connecting 11 cities in the country's Friesland Province.
The Eleven Cities Tour race has only been held 15 times since it was first officially organised in 1909, AP reports.
