With snowfall subsiding, the situation on Austrian roads calmed down somewhat on Sunday night. However, numerous road closures were still in effect in the morning due to fallen trees. Train traffic is also still affected.
When asked by the APA, the ÖAMTC said there were numerous closures across Austria due to storm damage and chain requirements. However, the accident that occurred at night was within the normal range. There were many defects and vehicles that were poorly equipped for the weather conditions became stuck along the way.
The closure of the A21 has been lifted again
The Vienna outer ring highway A21, which was closed in both directions for hours on Saturday, has now reopened to traffic. Despite more relaxed weather conditions in Bavaria, there were still no trains running at Munich’s main station early on Sunday. It was not possible to travel from Austria to the Bavarian capital by train.
The Ennstal section near Schladming was also partially closed. Meanwhile, Munich Airport resumed flight operations as scheduled at 6 a.m., the airport announced on its website. However, “restrictions will continue to apply to air traffic.”
Record snowfall is now followed by frost
Only a few snowflakes are expected to fall from the sky on Sunday. But now very cold days follow. The meteorologists expect lows of minus 15 degrees in some areas during the evening and night hours. It will remain cold on Monday and Tuesday. Sleet is expected and there is also an increased risk of avalanches in the mountain ridges.
