Quote from BBC News: Europe braced for more heavy snow.
Snow and gale-force winds are expected to cause transport chaos in Germany as a bitter cold snap continues to wreak havoc across Europe. Up to 40cm (15 inches) of snow was expected later on Friday in Germany, with heavy winds expected to bring traffic to a standstill. Airports have called in extra staff and rail operators have warned of delays.
France is also braced for more snow. Meteo France warned: "The amount of snow expected is significant, exceptional even". Parts of France - notably the south-western region of Provence - are without power and suffering transport delays after up to 20cm of snow fell in recent days.
