Police say 127 people have frozen to death so far this winter in Poland.
The national police said on its website Monday that eight people have died since Christmas Eve alone.
Early and severe winter weather gripped Poland in late November with heavy snowfalls disrupting road, railway and air transport. Temperatures at night fell at times to almost minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Most of those who froze to death were either homeless or were under the influence of alcohol.
