Vacationers on the French Riviera found up to 15 inches of snow along the palm-fringed coast, and the holy water froze in West Germany’s Cologne Cathedral as a cold wave that has left 111 people dead gripped Europe and North Africa for the sixth day. New snow, some mixed with sleet and rain, fell on central and southern regions of Italy, where at least 15 people have died since Sunday in weather-related incidents. Thirteen airports were closed in Italy. In France, where the government ordered Paris subway stations to stay open to shelter the homeless from the killing chill, 36 people were reported dead from the cold.
