Strong winds and snow complicate road traffic

Strong winds and snow caused problems on roads in many parts of the country over the weekend. Northern Bohemia saw up to 25 cm of fresh snow on Saturday, and it’s still snowing there. In eastern Bohemia, strong winds created snowdrifts on a number of roads, some of which had to be closed for traffic. Meteorologists warn that these conditions will continue for the rest of the weekend and snowdrifts are likely to appear on roads all over the country. Fresh snow has also complicated traffic in southern Bohemia and southern Moravia. On Sunday night, ice is expected to form on roads across the Czech Republic as temperatures will fall below zero.
