Storms and high winds caused problems across Europe in the week before the Christmas holiday.

Last Thursday, high winds grounded flights in parts of the United Kingdom, suspended train services and stopped Scottish ferries. British Airways said air traffic restrictions put in place because of the storm continued to affect flights between Britain and the rest of Europe on Friday.
