Sub-zero temperatures coupled with snowfall have claimed four more lives in Poland, raising to 30 the death toll since December 1, the interior ministry said Wednesday.

Just two weeks into December, the season has already proven deadlier than the entire month last year, when 19 people were recorded to have died, the ministry said.
