- Story Text: A cold front passed through Germany Thursday night,
dumping several centimetres of snow on Berlin, and causing
chaos on the streets on this first day of winter.
Pedestrians fought almost blizzard-like conditions as
they were doing some last-minute Christmas shopping at
Berlin's central Alexanderplatz.
At Berlin's Schoenefeld airport, planes had to be de-iced
and runways shovelled due to the heavy snowfall. Still,
airport authorities said travellers from Schoenefeld did not
have any major delays.
In Munich, children and adults alike took to the ice to
enjoy beautiful, cold, crisp weather to go for a skate in the
park.
Weather forecasters expect all of Germany to be covered by
a blanket of snow by the Christmas holidays early next week.
