BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Snow-choked European cities are struggling to get planes, trains and roads moving again after a surprisingly intense, late-season storm.
In Paris, a few flights were cancelled Wednesday and many were facing long delays at the Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. The Eurostar train service under the English Channel resumed Wednesday after being suspended most of Tuesday. But trains were running much more slowly than usual because of the icy tracks. Tens of thousands of homes in northern France remain without electricity, with temperatures below freezing across the region.
More than 100 cars crashed on a German highway near Frankfurt due to heavy snow and poor visibility on Tuesday. Over 30 people were wounded, six of them seriously.
Belgium was still suffering long train delays Wednesday, leaving thousands of commuters stranded on snowed-in platforms.
