Snowfalls and high winds threaten chaos

Fresh snowfalls and high winds have created problems across the country on Sunday. Up to 4.0 centimetres of snow fell overnight with up to 10 centimetres more expected during the day. The situation has been complicated by winds of up to 130 kilometres an hour which has led to snow drifts in some parts. One of the worst affected regions is Vysočina where some smaller roads are impassable. The state forestry company has also banned visitors to forests in some localities because of the danger of falling trees.
