Heavy snow across Europe caused thousands of flights and trains to be canceled, leaving hundreds of travelers stuck in airports, according to BBC News.
France, Germany, and the U.K. were counted among the severest affected areas, with prospects for more freezing weather for the whole week.
In the big hubs of Paris and Frankfurt, one-third of the departures had to be canceled, and at London Heathrow, the busiest airport in Europe, only a minority of flights were able to take off.
Brussels Airport lacked de-icing fluid, and flights had to be canceled until Wednesday.
Hundreds of stranded passengers passed nights at airports across Europe to wait for the rescheduling of their canceled flights, with some even sleeping on terminal floors.
Train services like Eurostar and Thalys had to deal with severe delays in France, Belgium, and England.
Hundreds of train travelers waited in line in the freezing cold for several hours to enter London’s St. Pancras railway station, where people gathered in and around the building, according to AP.
