The autobahn shutdown was only partial and for short time frames from what I've heard, no general shutdowns in the area I was travelling in the last weeks. On a few days they banned trucks from the autobahn because they caused to many accidents (due to ice/snow + summer tires).
Pretty cool, now winter tires are mandatory for cars but they can't drive as trucks on summer tires block all lanes on the autobahn.
On the other hand - they really fucked up the road management, even more than last year. It's really ridiculous as I live only a few miles from the border and it's the same fucked up weather here in the Netherlands - only that the roads here are completely free of ice and snow and once you cross the border you think you're driving on a frozen sea ...
