The Netherlands has SNOW! Here’s where you might see it

+ A code yellow is in action ☃️

Yes, wonderful readers, that chilly weekend wasn’t for nothing; the Netherlands had its first dusting of snow for the winter!

However, only a few select locations were chosen by the snow gods, and it was far from a winter wonderland.

Still…it’s snow! ❄️

Where did it snow?

The snow originally appeared in the south of the country and moved north.

Most of the snow fell in the southeast, Noord-Holland, Utrecht, and Flevoland, where there was a layer of between one and three centimetres.

The real winner was Limburg in the hills, where a delightful three to five centimetres fell, reports RTL Nieuws.

If you were in the southwest, you likely saw snow — but it was pretty wet and disappointing.

Groningen also saw some snow towards the end of the evening.

Code yellow in force

With snow comes ice, and with ice comes slippery roads. If you’re driving this morning, make sure to adjust your speed accordingly.

The code yellow remains at play for most of the day.
