Northern Europe experienced heavy snowfall on Sunday, leading to significant disruptions in transportation, particularly at British and German airports. Manchester and Liverpool airports in England were forced to close their runways due to accumulating snow, resulting in substantial delays for several flights. Conditions improved in Manchester by mid-morning as runways reopened, but delays persisted as teams worked to de-ice the aircraft. Liverpool also reopened its runway, advising passengers to check the status of their flights with airlines.
The night before, several centimeters of snow fell across England and Wales, with accumulations reaching 12 centimeters in some areas like West Yorkshire. Some regions recorded heights of up to 40 centimeters at elevations exceeding 300 meters. These severe weather conditions even threatened the cancellation of the football match between Liverpool and Manchester United.
In Germany, snow and freezing rain also caused a large number of flight cancellations. At Frankfurt Airport, 120 flights were canceled out of approximately 1,090 scheduled. In Munich, 35 flights were canceled as a precaution. Disruptions began as early as Friday evening at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, where 30 flights were affected. In Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport canceled 68 flights and delayed over 200 others due to the weather conditions.
Authorities are advising workers to switch to remote work if possible at the beginning of the week, while weather warnings remain in effect across several northern countries. In Sweden, the meteorological agency has placed much of the country under yellow and orange alerts due to the extreme cold.
