VIENNA, Nov 16 (AFP) Nov 16, 2007


Hundreds of vehicles were still at a standstill outside Vienna Friday after unseasonably heavy snowfall blocked highways overnight, authorities said.


 
At least two highways were closed for more than 14 hours after upwards of 20 centimetres (eight inches) of snow fell in and around the Austrian capital.
