Comments: Due to highly unfavourable weather conditions, heavy snow and sleet (freezing rain) started hitting Slovenia on Friday, 31 January 2014, and continued during the weekend of 1-2 February 2014. Many regions have been affected but mostly the Notranjska region in the south-western part of the country. State of emergency (red alarm) was proclaimed for the whole country on 2 February 2014. However, the scope of sleet devastation is beyond any anticipated estimations. Extreme weather conditions have caused extensive power cuts with more than 80,000 client sites affected, leaving around 250,000 people without electric power.
