Snow and ice have created enormous disruption to road traffic
The heavy snow in the North and in the West of France have blocked the transport.
Some main roads (roads and highways) were impassable, forcing the truck to stop.
The National Federation of road believes that these storms "cost" 20 million euros per day for companies in the sector (trucks blocked, drivers' salary to be paid, despite the stop of activities, consumption of extra fuel to avoid the affected areas).
