Two hundres flights have been cancelled becasue of the snow in Germany. The heavy snow has made life hard because residents have to stock up in food and necessary equipment since they don't know when the snow fall is going to stop. It's not only Germany thats has been hit with snow but the surrounding countries as well. As for Poland, one hundred forty people have frozen to death in the past few weeks. Germany's Civil Protection Office has said that due to the snow there will be power cute. Near the Greman-French border hundreds of trucks have been lined up not being allowed to drive anywhere until the snow has ended. On Friday, the Nuremberg Airport was shut down after flight number 133 skidded off the runway and got stuck in snow. Luckily no one was injured. They say this is the worst winter in decades. In some cities homeless people have been offered shelter in nearby places such as the Red Cross. The snow has still not stopped and no one knows when it is going to end.
