Default Snowing in Brussels - rush hour disruption

: Snowing steadily in Brussels just now - small flakes but fairly dense.
: Cold as well: -3.6°C at Uccle at 08.00 Belgian time. Everything is
white -
: at least 1 cm cover.

Snow is causing severe disruption to traffic in Belgium in the morning rush
hour.

Apparently a total of 950 km of traffic queues - partly as a result of
accidents. Traffic at a standstill on motorways in Flanders.

Delays at Brussels Airport where only one runway can be used. No buses in
Brussels until at least mid-morning because of icy roads. Fortunately I go
to work by tram and underground and those are still operating ...
