Deaths Blamed On Mexico Cold Snap

MEXICO CITY - A cold snap that has brought freezing temperatures,
unusual snows and heavy rains to Mexico and Central America was blamed
by authorities for several deaths.
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said Thursday that the bodies of four
people had been found on city streets since Wednesday, including one who
died from pneumonia. Officials were investigating whether the other
three deaths were also caused by the weather.
Another man was found dead of pneumonia in a vacant lot in Guadalajara.
Temperatures dropped to 23 degrees in central Puebla state, where
residents woke to snow-covered mountains and authorities opened more
than 100 shelters.
Snow is not uncommon at very high altitudes in Mexico during the winter,
but this week's cold front brought frost and light snow to towns that
normally don't see such weather. In the capital, residents accustomed to
80-degree afternoons bundled up in temperatures as low as 32.
The front also brought heavy rains, high winds and pounding waves to
Central America. In Honduras, a 65-year-old woman drowned trying to
cross a rain-swollen river, dozens were evacuated from flooded areas and
two airports closed briefly.
In neighboring El Salvador, winds ripped the roofs off some buildings
and forced emergency officials to set up temporary shelters for those
left homeless.
