Heavy snow brings widespread disruption across UK, Germany

Deccan Chronicle  

London: Heavy snow and freezing rain brought widespread disruption across Europe on Sunday, particularly in the UK and Germany, with several major airports forced to suspend flights. With the weather set to stay inclement on Sunday in the UK, there are concerns that many rural communities, particularly in the north of England, could be cut off, with up to 40 centimetres of snow on ground above 300 metres. Britain's main weather forecaster, the Met Office, says sleet and snow will continue to push north on Sunday and will be heaviest in northern England and into southern Scotland. The Environment Agency has also issued eight flood warnings across southern England on the River Taw and River Avon.
