PARIS, France, Jan 6, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Icy temperatures plunged swathes of Europe into a second day of travel chaos on Tuesday, with weather-related accidents causing six deaths from the continent's bitterest cold snap this winter so far. Forty percent of flights at Charles de Gaulle were to be scrapped, and 25 percent at Orly. Another driver also lost his life east of Paris on Monday after a collision with a heavy goods vehicle. More than 300 schools were shut in Scotland Tuesday, the national BBC broadcaster reported, with Scottish train services also severely disrupted. Hungary meanwhile also braced for a second day of fresh snowfall Tuesday, with some roads and railways already impassable, especially in the northeast.
