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
雪橇车沿着山坡向下急速滑行，车上的小女孩不由自主地捂住了自己的双眼。照片摄于2010年12月1日的英格兰东部佩特沃思，其时英国大部分地区已被愈来愈猛烈的风雪封冻。大批旅行者不得不继续忍受铁路和航班的一再延误，汽车路况也开始变得凶险。爱丁堡及盖特威克机场均因风雪而关闭，选择乘火车穿越海峡前往欧洲大陆的旅客同样需面对欧洲之星晚点的无奈。美联社Chris Ison摄影
