Around 760 flights were canceled at Munich Airport on Saturday due to heavy snowfall, an airport spokesperson told CNN.

Buses, trams, and some train services in Munich were also suspended due to the snow, according to Munich’s public transport company.

Munich’s central train station was closed for arrivals, while long-distance services have been suspended entirely, according to Germany’s national railway company Deutsche Bahn.

    As someone living in Munich it was and is crazy seeing that much snow in one day. Local news said Munich topped the old record of snow for december. 1933 there was 43cm during the whole month and yesterday it was 44cm on a single day. Austria also had some trouble with traffic and there is a huge risk of avalanches for the whole east alp region.

      I wish I was there. And it was closer to Christmas. I haven’t seen real snow since I moved to Germany and never a white Christmas. When I was a kid in Michigan, we would get 70cm a day, over and over, from October to May
