STORYLINE:
The French capital was blanketed by snow on Wednesday, causing major transport delays and cancelled flights out of the two main Parisian airports.

France's national weather service, Meteo France, said large parts of northern and western France, including the Paris region, were on alert for snow and black ice.

French authorities advised people to work from home and avoid using their cars in the snow-hit regions.

Trucks and school buses were banned from using the roads.

Bus traffic was suspended in Paris on Wednesday morning.

Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said over a hundred flights have been cancelled Wednesday at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport and about 40 at Paris’ Orly airport.

French railway company SNCF warned passengers about disruptions and delays due to weather conditions, saying “snow on the tracks is forcing us to limit train speed and cancel trains or adjust traffic.” Eurostar trains between Paris, London and Brussels were also being delayed.
