It's not just Norway and Sweden that are affected by snow chaos. The snow has also caused problems in several parts of Europe. Airports have had to temporarily close, trains have been canceled, and power outages are occurring one after another.

Heavy snow and freezing rain have led to widespread disruption across the UK, with several major airports forced to cancel flights and several roads in northern England impassable.

Several parts of the UK have received over 10 centimetres of snow – in the Pennine mountain range in northern England up to 40 centimetres of snow is expected until late Sunday evening.

In the British cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, and Manchester, runways were temporarily closed due to the weather on Sunday morning. The airports were able to reopen later in the day – but air traffic controllers are still warning of widespread delays.

The weather forecast also shows that the snow will turn to rain across southern Britain – which means that the snow on the ground will melt. According to the BBC, flooding is now expected in several places.

According to Deutsche Welle, the airline Lufthansa has also warned of changes to air traffic in both Austria and Switzerland.

At Frankfurt Airport, several flights to popular destinations such as Paris, Venice and Prague have been cancelled. Snow and ice have also caused problems at Munich Airport.

In addition to air travel, passengers traveling by train on Sunday may also see disruptions in several parts of Europe.

On the railways in Great Britain, many departures were canceled and the disruptions may continue into the working week.

Many sporting events have already been postponed, and the heavyweight Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United looked at risk for a long time. But at the last moment Liverpool confirmed that the match would take place as planned, writes the BBC.
