Snow causes havoc across Europe

January 9, 2010 - 0:0

Much of Europe is bracing itself for more snow this weekend as winter weather continues to cause transport difficulties for travellers.

A storm moving from the Mediterranean known as ""Daisy"" will bring snow to parts of Switzerland, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic Friday as it collides with freezing Arctic air, the German Meteorological Service said.
At least 16 rail providers altered schedules due to the weather while Eurostar Group Ltd., whose high-speed train links England to Europe, said it will run restricted services until January 10th.
Record demand for power in Norway led to limits for schools and aluminium producer Norsk Hydro ASA, while Poland said it may cut natural-gas deliveries to companies.
