Austria Blizzard Causes Travel Chaos

Heavy snowfall has severely disrupted transportation across western Austria. The blizzard, named Storm Andrea by meterologists, has forced the closure of main roads and three railway lines, including a major route connecting the country to Switzerland, in the regions of Tyrol and Foralberg [sic]. The storm is also increasing the chances of avalanches in a region renowned for its ski slopes. Charlie Angela reports.
