Heavy snow complicates road traffic

Heavy snowfall continues to complicate traffic in the mountain regions and drivers who are setting out for the country's ski-resorts have been warned not to leave without winter tires, chains and a bagful of sand. Food and drink is also advisable since many vehicles have got stuck in snowdrifts and pileups in the past two or three days. Ten passengers were forced to spend the night in bus which got stuck in a drift in the Jeseniky Mountains late Friday.
