Winter wonderland for some, reason to bury yourself even deeper under your blankets for others — the Netherlands is issuing another code yellow.
With unusually low temperatures for this time of year, prepare for snow, strong wind and slippery roads, warns the KNMI (Royal Dutch Weather Institute). ❄️
Let it snow!
You might have woken up to a snow-covered street (or a frosty car 🙃) this morning — and there’s more to come.
This is especially true if you live in the South, as the Telegraaf writes. North Brabant already saw some snow yesterday afternoon, and Limburg can expect five to 10 centimetres today.

Most Dutch provinces, except Zeeland, South Holland, and the Wadden Islands, are under a code yellow warning today due to snow and local hailstorms, reports the NOS.
If you need more reasons to stay cosy at home, the code yellow will also result in large traffic jams.
It’s getting cold in here
The low temperatures are making sure the slippery conditions are here to stay: we had between 1 and 4 degrees Celsius in the morning and can expect a maximum of 6 °C in the afternoon.
It’s the coldest in the southeast, while coastal regions will experience moderately strong winds. 💨

However, if the cold doesn’t scare you, put on your hats and gloves and go enjoy the few snowy moments we get here in the Netherlands!
After a few showers in the south, the weather will dry up and we might even see some sun peaking through.
