Ukraine says at least eighty-three have died there, with Bulgaria and Romania combining for the other six.
Temperatures have gone as low as -9F, during the last week and heavy snows have buried some areas.
Military forces have been sent out to try and keep roads clear as the Ukrainian government opens shelters to provide warmth and hot food for the elderly and homeless.
Forecasters warn that if anything changes it will be temperatures dropping even further.
Around one hundred people die annually from Ukraine's winter, and this one looks to be a lot worse than normal.
