umccall+FollowWinter Travel Woes Hit Europe HardTravelers in the UK, France, and the Netherlands are facing a total winter mess—snow and ice have shut down roads, canceled flights, and even stopped Eurostar trains. Eurostar’s telling people not to show up if they’re headed to the Netherlands, and hundreds of flights are grounded at major airports like Schiphol and Paris CDG. Scotland got buried in 20 inches of snow, schools are closed, and even the zoo had to shut its doors. Winter is not playing around this year! #Transportation #WinterStorm #TravelDisruption00Share

If this happens to you, report it ASAP. Some say drivers are underpaid, but that’s not your problem. Wild ride, right? #Transportation #Uber #rideshare11Share
