Power company Bayernwerk said thousands of homes were without power and service teams were working overnight to repair power lines, but further outages were expected as snow continued. Snowfall is expected to continue across Germany, with temperatures dropping sharply to between -10 and -15 degrees. Severe frost will occur in parts of various regions.
In addition, Munich Airport did not resume operations until 6 a.m. on Sunday due to flight cancellations and delays due to heavy snow. The situation also affected other airports, such as Frankfurt, where some planes were forced to divert and failed to arrive in Munich as scheduled. The suspension of Central Station caused many train delays, and all subways, buses and trams were suspended. In addition, snow accumulation, icy roads and fallen trees caused many accidents. Traffic jams are occurring on many highways in Bavaria, and the forestry department has asked people to avoid entering the forests because the trees are loaded with weight and are at risk of falling over at any time. Bavarian police also advised people to stay at home as cleanup work continues.
For those planning to travel to Munich or passing through the area, it is recommended to confirm the flight status as much as possible and be prepared for possible changes. You can consider changing routes or choosing other modes of transportation to reduce the risk of being affected by flight problems.
