Due to the heavy snowfall, falling trees have caused major traffic disruptions and power outages, particularly in eastern and southern Styria. Please avoid unnecessary car journeys in the districts of Hartberg-Fürstenfeld, Südoststeiermark, Leibnitz, Deutschlandsberg, Weiz and Graz-Umgebung Süd, and stay at home if possible. Because of the very high risk of trees breaking under the snow load, please avoid forests and parks. Energy supply companies are working to restore power in the affected areas
