Intense snowfall and icy weather conditions have caused widespread travel disruption across Europe, with six reported killed in weather-related incidents on the continent.
Five people died in two separate regions of France as a result of treacherous driving conditions, authorities said, while one woman was also killed in Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo, after 16in (40cm) of snow fell on the city.
Hundreds of flights have been cancelled across Europe, with thousands left stranded at airports in Paris and Amsterdam.
Disruption is expected to continue into Wednesday.
In France, three people died in two separate incidents in Landes, in the south-west, due to black ice, authorities said. Two more died in separate motor accidents in the Paris region. One was the result of a collision between a driver and a heavy goods vehicle in east Paris, police reported. The other was killed after a taxi driver hit a kerb due to snow and plunged into the Marne river.
The Balkans has also seen snow and heavy rain, resulting in a fatality in Sarajevo when a tree weighted down by snow fell on a woman.
French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot indicated that more snow was expected in the country and urged people to limit road travel, recommending that many work from home. France's national weather service has placed 38 districts on an orange alert for snow and black ice.
Airports are facing cancelations, with Roissy-Charles de Gaulle in Paris expecting to see 40% of flights canceled to facilitate snow removal from the runways. Similarly, airports in Amsterdam reported over 400 flight cancellations.
Many of the cancellations were for flights operated by KLM, which reported a near depletion of de-icing fluids necessary for aircraft amidst ongoing extreme weather conditions and supply delays. Travellers at Schiphol expressed frustration at long lines and communication issues.
In addition to flight disruptions, train services in the Netherlands saw cancellations, partly due to an IT outage affecting operations.
