S’no way! These parts of the Netherlands can expect even more SNOW today

What’s something you wouldn’t expect when spring is approaching the Netherlands? Snowfall. But hey, perhaps we should just give up on the seasons altogether. 

This crisp March morning, the southeastern region of Noord-Brabant can count on up to five centimetres of snowfall dusting the landscape.

That’s not all either; the hills of South Limburg can expect up to 10 centimetres, reports RTL Nieuws

Code Orange due to the snowy conditions

However, life isn’t all snow angels and chocomel. Those Limburgers aren’t so lucky, and Brabandt will suffer a blizzardy beating. 

Due to the oncoming large layer of snow, the KNMI has issued a code orange warning from early this morning until noon for North Brabant and Limburg. 

We have our Belgian neighbours to thank for the oncoming frostiness. Buienradar meteorologist, Maurice Middendorp, explains to RTL Nieuws that “the entire snow area is moving north from the Belgian-Dutch border.” Time to get cosy inside, get that hot chocolate, and enjoy watching the snowfall today. ❄️

Watch out for icy patches

When it comes to snowfall, it’s not all fun and games, and it’s not just the Netherlands’ nether regions that can expect some icy weather.  

While Middendorp warns people in the south of the country to watch out for ice during the day due to snow residue. Middendorp, also warns of icy patches throughout the centre of the country. 

In fact, Middendorp also expects about 1 to 2 centimetres of snow to fall in the middle of the Netherlands. 

And then — poof — it’s gone

Will the snowfall continue? Not exactly. After today, the weather will be changeable and unpredictable in true Dutch style — of course, with regular rain showers. 

On the bright side, the Netherlands is supposed to get a bit warmer starting tomorrow, as local weather will go from 5 degrees to 10 degrees by Sunday.

While she's not a big fan of the cold weather and biking (for good reason — she's been hit by bikes three times already), she fell in love with the canals, bitterballen, and the 'gezelligheid' of Dutch culture. When she's not writing, you'll find her reading thriller books, hitting her personal records at the gym, and cuddling up with her Ragdoll cat.
