Deutsche Bahn also reported long delays in long -distance transport, especially in the Frankfurt area. Weather warnings were spent on parts of Hesse because snow could pass into freezing rain in the morning.

The police in South Hesse reported seven weather -related accidents between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m., mostly with minor damage. A severe weather warning was pronounced, especially for the East Hessian counties of Fulda, Vogelsberg and Hersfeld-Rotenburg as well as the Schwalm-Eder district.
