VOA: Migration Crisis: Seaborne Arrivals In Europe Top One Million
GENEVA - The UN refugee agency reports more than one million refugees and migrants have reached Europe by sea alone this year, with 80 percent of this record number landing on small, overcrowded Greek islands.
The U.N. refugee agency says refugees fleeing war and persecution are paying a heavy price in their desperation to find a safe haven. It reports 3,735 people have lost their lives this year making the dangerous Mediterranean Sea crossing. This translates to an average of 10 deaths or missing persons every day.
WNU Editor: Even though it is now winter, 2,000 to 3,000 are arriving by boat to Greece everyday. It is not hard to imagine how high this number is going to be when spring and summer arrives .... and almost of these refugees want to go to Germany.

In the Croatian/Hungarian/Slovenian area the so called "winter" just in big late. The weather is extreamly good compared to what date it is. So far we did not see snow, nor really freezing weather in this wingter, but thats gonna change in January, and not only here, but also in the whole Balkan. Maybe worth to mention, that Slovenia keep building their own fences alongside the Croatian border, but so far they only made 100-150 km from the whole 650km shared border, so in this speed they would finish it until late spring - early summer.
This is the death of the modern welfare state.
