Fed up with the grey skies? Well, the Netherlands is about to turn white. Reports are claiming we’re about to get hit with the first snowfall of the year —possibly today!
According to Het Parool a thin layer of snow will fall upon the Netherlands’ head on this glorious Monday.
But it’s not just today. It’s time to throw on your woolly hat and gloves in preparation for a number of snowy and icy days ahead of us. 🥶
Blue Monday? Never heard of her
The KNMI (the Royal Dutch Weather Institute) and Weeronline report that Monday morning rain showers will undergo an exciting transformation and turn into a wet snowfall as the hours go by. (Listen, we prefer our precipitation in a fluffy, white, wintery form.)

However, the fluffy stuff isn’t going to cause too much chaos. “It will not lead to snow cover, at most, some snow will remain on cars, the lawn or the garden table,” Weeronline reports.
For now, the snow will keep it brief. At night, temperatures haven’t dropped below zero degrees Celsius yet, which means it won’t stick around for long.
It’s a slippery slope
Slipperiness isn’t on the cards for today. However, there is an increasing chance of ice and slippery mornings later on in the week, says the KNMI.
By Thursday, the winter days will climax as temperatures are set to drop to -3 degrees Celsius and snow showers will fall all over. 😬
