Drivers warned against snow, ice on roads

Despite a spell of unusually warm weather, the authorities on Wednesday warned drivers against snow- and ice-covered roads in parts of the country. In the eastern part of the Czech Republic, many roads continue to be covered with frozen snow and fallen trees complicate traffic in some places. Most main roads in the Šumava and Krkonoše mountains have been gritted but the authorities call on drivers to exercise extra caution.
