As Germany and other regions prepare for extreme winter weather, heavy snow, black ice, and freezing rain are anticipated to wreak havoc. Lufthansa has issued warnings about potential flight disruptions, particularly at Frankfurt Airport, where cancellations and delays are likely.

The situation is mirrored in the UK and US, where blizzard conditions threaten millions, with snowfall reaching up to one meter in some areas. In the US, severe storms are causing widespread power outages and travel disruptions, especially in states like Kansas, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia.

Germany's capital airport, BER, has proactively reduced landings in anticipation of ice rain, halving the number of arrivals to ensure safe operations. Passengers are advised to stay informed about their flights as delays may occur.

Stuttgart Airport is also facing challenges, with icy conditions leading to significant delays and cancellations. The impact of this severe weather is extensive, underscoring the need for travelers to stay alert and prepared for changing conditions.
