"STUTTGART, Germany (AFP) Oct 08, 2003
A pre-season snowstorm blanketed southern Germany Wednesday leading to
several road closures and traffic jams, authorities said.

Fallen trees and ice made roads treacherous in the Black Forest and Allgaeu
regions, where two autobahns were shut temporarily. Several minor car
accidents were reported throughout the states of Bavaria and
Baden-Wuerttemberg, authorities said.

"We were shocked by the early snow," said a spokesman for the highway
police in the southwestern town of Muehlhausen.

Train service in the city of Freiburg was interrupted due to downed trees
blocking the tracks. Isolated power outages were reported in Bavaria."
