<p>Heavy overnight snowfall has grounded about 450 flights and caused major delays at German airports.</p>
<p>Schools were closed and roads clogged with traffic. At least two people died as the weather caused scores of accidents.</p>
<p>Snow also hit flights in the Netherlands, where Amsterdam&#8217;s Schiphol Airport saw 30 cancellations and major delays ahead of the busy Christmas holiday season.</p>
<p>The European control agency eurocontrol said passengers at Schiphol, one of Europe&#8217;s busiest airports, had to expect delays of up to four and a half hours.</p>
<p>Snow also temporarily closed Geneva airport, and flights were also disrupted in Zurich.</p>
<p>In Frankfurt, 300 flights had been cancelled by late morning on Friday, and the number was expected to rise throughout the day, a spokesman said. About eight inches of snow blanketed the area overnight, also causing the closure of schools around Frankfurt and elsewhere in Hesse.</p>
<p>The airport, continental Europe&#8217;s second-biggest hub, had to be closed for about an hour late on Thursday, and an estimated 1,000 passengers were stranded overnight.</p>
<p>Munich airport, Germany&#8217;s second-largest, reported 86 cancellations and major delays; Duesseldorf saw more than 20 cancellations.</p>
<p>Roads were clogged by snow, and in North-Rhine Westphalia state alone authorities reported traffic jams of more than 115 miles on major roads. Two men died in the southern state of Bavaria when they were struck by a car as they tried to help a friend to pull his car out of the snow.</p>
<p>In Denmark, the state postal service reported snow has caused a high number of injuries to the country&#8217;s 12,000 postal workers &#8211; including broken limbs. PostDanmark reported 355 carriers have so far been injured since November &#8211; compared with a total of 450 during last year&#8217;s entire winter.</p>
