Switzerland is grappling with severe disruptions in public transportation and road traffic due to heavy snowfall that began on Thursday.

Major cities like Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Lucerne have seen significant impacts, with bus and tram services either halted or running irregularly.

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) has reported numerous delays and cancellations across various lines, particularly affecting the western regions.

The snowfall, which has blanketed the Swiss lowlands with over 20 centimeters of snow, has also led to hazardous driving conditions, causing road closures and traffic chaos.

Despite the challenges, some residents are embracing the winter wonderland, making the most of the snowy landscape.

Weather forecasts predict continued snowfall, with conditions expected to improve slightly over the weekend as temperatures rise.
