High winds and heavy snow in Europe on Monday stranded thousands of travellers, kept schoolchildren at home and even played havoc with international diplomacy.
It was the second day running of nasty weather across the continent, with Britain still digging out from its deepest snowfall in four years.
The snowed-over runways in Brussels on Monday provoked about 90 flight cancellations and some 100 delays, including for the plane carrying Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu back home.
He tweeted a video from his plane that opened with a shot of the white tarmac at the close of his European visit marked by the US recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
A scheduled meeting between Netanyahu and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had to be called off because of the weather, officials said.

Britain is at the same latitude as Northern Quebec.
The Gulf Stream makes them winners in the snow lottery
80% of the time.

Just how deep is it? Using mm tends to yield a big number.

"Overall, some parts of London could see a foot (30cm) of snow, while northern England and the Pennines could see as much as 20 inches (50cm) - made worse by strong winds which will cause snow to drift, he added. "
20 inches is a significant snow for a day.

Children just arent going to know what snow is, Dr. David Viner, a scientist with the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia, told the UK Independent in 2000.
