Good time not to be travelling in Europe

* I made this post yesterday so the current situation isn't so great with the heavy rain. Hope it won't turn to snow. Looking out at our beautiful weather with no snow it's hard to imagine it is so awful in Europe. I hope things get better for them as the Christmas rush gets underway.

BERLIN (AP) — Freezing rain and cold weather buffeting Germany were blamed for traffic accidents that left three dead on Tuesday while Munich Airport temporarily suspended flights. One student was killed in a crash involving a school bus in the Erzgebirge mountains in the eastern German state of Saxony, police said. At least 10 other schoolchildren were taken to a hospital. Two adults, including the bus driver, were seriously injured. The bus skidded into the side of a winter road maintenance vehicle in Sehmatal county near the Czech border, German news agency dpa reported. It then crashed head-on into a tree and and the impact was so strong that it completely destroyed the front of the vehicle.
