Southern Germany is facing a winter nightmare after heavy snowfall brought travel to a standstill overnight. Munich Airport—a major hub for European and global flights—halted all operations until Sunday morning, leaving thousands of passengers stuck in limbo.
Flights Grounded, Passengers Stuck
Munich Airport officials confirmed flights were canceled until at least 6 a.m. GMT Sunday, with no immediate resumption in sight as snow continued to blanket the region. Travelers took to social media to share videos of planes buried under snowdrifts, captioned with “Guess I’ll live here now? ”
Rail Routes Frozen
Bavaria’s rail network isn’t faring much better. Delays and cancellations hit major routes, with Deutsche Bahn advising passengers to “stay home unless travel is urgent.” Local authorities are scrambling to clear roads and restore services, but the weather forecast warns of more snow ahead.
