Paris blanketed in snow...

A wintery picture postcard moment.

00:09
Offering a chance for some to enjoy the city's attractions...

in a different way.

00:20
But for many ... more conventional travellers ... the snow and ice has meant ... Disruption.

00:29
And here in Bosnia, and right across Europe, ... 

the sub zero temperatures have been hitting those on the move.

00:39
Including at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, one of Europe's busiest hubs.

Where some 700 hundreds flights were cancelled on Monday - with hundreds more expected to go the same way over the next few days.

VOXPOP (English) Man wearing black coat:
"No trains, no flights, no good ..."

VOXPOP (English) Man wearing orange coat:
"It's mad. In England we thought we had problems with snow. We assumed countries like this would be able to deal with snow. Obviously not."

01:09
It's a similar story on many European rail networks. 

While those trying to keep roads clear for drivers in places like Scotland - face a thankless task.

01:24
Tens of thousand have also been left without power in southern Romania because of outages caused by a strong blizzard.

For travellers, the bad news is, forecasters say the snow and ice is likely to cause more disruption over the coming days.

01:41
But for those out enjoying the wintery conditions in Paris and elsewhere, 

many will be hoping the white stuff hangs around for just a little longer.
