Bayernwerk Power Company 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. Snow was expected to continue across Germany, with temperatures plummeting to between -10 and -15 degrees Celsius. Severe frost was expected in parts of the country.
Munich Airport also experienced flight cancellations and delays due to heavy snow, with operations not resuming until 6:00 AM on Sunday. This situation also affected other airports, such as Frankfurt, where some flights were forced to reroute and were unable to reach Munich as scheduled. The closure of the central station led to numerous train delays, and all subway, bus, and tram services were suspended. Accidents also occurred due to snow accumulation, icy roads, and fallen trees. Traffic was congested on several highways in Bavaria, and forestry authorities urged people to avoid entering forests due to the risk of falling trees under heavy load. Bavarian police also advised people to stay home while cleanup efforts continued.
For those planning to travel to Munich or passing through the area, it is recommended to confirm 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.
