Krušné Mountains see fresh snowfall, snowdrifts

Snowdrifts blocked a five-kilometre section of road in the Krušné Mountains in the Ústí area on Saturday between the villages of Kryštofovy Hamry and Výsluní; an additional seven kilometer stretch was also blocked between Loučna and Chomutov but local snow removal was able to clear the drifts by the afternoon. The Krušné Mountains have gotten about ten centimeters of new snow; strong winds have snapped trees in places.
