SNOW ON THE STREETS - WATER DANCE



Icy temperatures and snow are causing problems across Western Europe.

South-east England saw the worst snow for 18 years, with all London buses pulled from service. One of Heathrow Airport's runways remains closed.

In Paris, flights were delayed and snow caused several road accidents, although the state forecaster said the quantities of snow were not unusual.

Snowfalls also snarled traffic in several parts of Spain, including the Madrid area, on Sunday.

Up to 20cm of snow fell in parts of Switzerland overnight, while part of the road around the San Bernardino tunnel was closed.

Meanwhile, a storm disrupted ferry travel from the Spanish port city of Algeciras to Morocco, authorities said.

The season’s first snowstorm hit New York, closing schools and canceling flights. New Yorkers had to leap over puddles from a dusting of snow that turned into torrential rain. Some did it in style while others landed in deep sludge. See video: "On the street - water dance"

Wenn Die Sonne Erwacht In Den Bergen



Wenn Die Sonne Erwacht  In Den Bergen

*

Wenn die Sonne erwacht 
in den Bergen 
und der Mond sagt der Erde
 "good-bye"  
flieh'n die Schatten der
Nacht vor dem Morgen 
neues Licht macht die Welt
 wieder frei.
* 
Gedanken von mir  
die trägt der Wind zu dir. 
Was er dir erzählt 
wirst du versteh'n. 
Ja wenn die Sonne erwacht 
in den Bergen
* 
wünsch' ich mir

sie soll nie mehr untergeh'n.
