SNOW, MAN: Frankfurt's airport closed, trains stopped running under the English Channel, and the French army was ordered to help clear roads — because of an unusually late snowfall on Western Europe. BIG CHILL: Frankfurt airport, Europe's third busiest, closed at midday after recording about five inches of snow. More than 355 flights were cancelled by mid-afternoon. North of Frankfurt, the autobahn closed after more than 100 cars and trucks crashed in a pileup and dozens were injured. ON ICE: In southeastern England, snow and ice stranded hundreds of motorists, and many abandoned their cars. Reported by SeattlePI.com 21 hours ago.
