<p>At Frankfurt airport, Germany’s biggest, more than 500 flights were cancelled, while in Munich more than 250 arrivals and departures were cancelled.</p>
<p>In western Germany, Saarbruecken airport closed for the day, as Dusseldorf and Cologne/Bonn airports were also affected by delays and cancelations.</p>
<p>National train operator Deutsche Bahn cancelled several long-distance connections and announced that the maximum speed of its fast ICE train would be limited to 124mph due to the extreme weather.</p>
<p>The freezing rain across western and southern Germany also led to countless crashes on icy roads in the early hours of Wednesday.</p>
<p>As a precaution, many schools and kindergartens in the country closed for the day, and some companies offered their employees the option of working from home.</p>

<p>The German Weather Service warned of a very high risk of icy roads due to freezing rain in a region including the city of Trier in the west and Frankfurt in the centre of the country.</p>
<p>In the states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg, the service said there was a “great danger to life and limb due to freezing rain with heavy ice accumulation; widespread ice breakage”.</p>
<p>People living in the regions were asked to avoid driving and stay inside if possible.</p>
<p>North of Germany, the Scandinavian countries were also hit by the cold winter weather.</p>

<p>Heavy snowfall brought traffic to a standstill in large areas, with roads and motorways clogged with stranded motorists, public transportation delays, cancellations of some ferry lines, and the closure of some bridges.</p>
<p>Police in several parts of Denmark urged people to stay at home.</p>
<p>The airport in Oslo, Norway, said: “Due to heavy snowfall in the Oslo area, there are delays and cancellations with public transportation to and from Oslo airport.</p>
<p>“If you are going to travel, allow plenty of time to get to the airport and follow the information from your airline.”</p>
