A girl covers her eyes as she sledges down a hill in the snow in Petworth, south east England as large areas of Britain were brought to a halt as freezing weather tightened its grip Wednesday Dec. 1, 2010. Travelers endured more misery with the wintry weather wrecking air and rail schedules and causing hazardous driving conditions. Edinburgh and Gatwick airports were closed and those trying to reach the continent by rail faced delays on Eurostar services. AP / Chris Ison
雪橇車沿著山坡向下急速滑行,車上的小女孩不由自主地捂住了自己的雙眼。照片攝于2010年12月1日的英格蘭東部佩特沃思,其時英國大部分地區已被愈來愈猛烈的風雪封凍。大批旅行者不得不繼續忍受鐵路和航班的一再延誤,汽車路況也開始變得兇險。愛丁堡及蓋特威克機場均因風雪而關閉,選擇乘火車穿越海峽前往歐洲大陸的旅客同樣需面對歐洲之星晚點的無奈。美聯社Chris Ison攝影
