Snow calamity called off

Authorities in the northern town of Jablonec Nad Nisou on Monday called off the snow calamity declared after more than half a metre of snow fell. The town was the worst hit by unexpected snowfall on Friday which caused chaos to transport and at one stage cut power supplies to around 60,000 homes. Electricity supplier ČEZ called off its state of emergency in Jablonec and nearby Liberec saying that only a few hundred homes were still without power.
