In Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, people have to expect considerable restrictions in some cases due to the weather conditions. There are still delays and cancellations on local public transport.

Snow and freezing rain are worsening conditions on the roads and continuing to cause disruption. In Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, the current weather conditions are still causing disruptions, according to the authorities.

Although the public transport services in Saxony-Anhalt, such as the HVB in the Harz region, have been temporarily suspended, the transport companies announced this morning, delays and cancellations are still to be expected. In Thuringia, some services in the northern Kyffhäuserkreis and Nordhausen districts also resumed in the morning, but are still limited to the most important regional lines, according to the transport company.
