Heavy snow clouds block traffic all over Germany

Accidents became more frequent on roads in the northeast, according to reports by states including Saxony, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The Deutsche Bahn railway operator said delays and cancellations are expected in long distance services.

This applies to all of southern Germany, as well as to connections to and from Berlin, Hamburg, and Hanover.

In Berlin, tram services were canceled because of freezing electricity lines, and public transport services were restricted to other parts of the capital.

Bora arrived in southwest Germany on Sunday evening, where she fell up to 20 inches [25 cm] in some areas.
