While some of us are already mentally enjoying an Aperol Spritz on a sunny terrasje at 9 PM, Dutch weather isn’t quite there yet. In fact, it’s turning the opposite way, bringing us snow and ice roads.
Snow?! Yep, but only in the north of the Netherlands, where the Dutch Royal Weather Institute (KNMI) has issued a code yellow warning for slipperiness on Tuesday morning.
Who’s affected?
The code yellow warning applies to the provinces of Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel.
These places will see a thin layer of snow, with 1-3 centimetres in the north and maybe a few extra centimetres in the northeast.
As the KNMI writes, this snowfall will make roads, bike paths, and sidewalks slippery from night until Tuesday morning. If you have to go outside, make sure to tread carefully. ☝️
What about the rest of the country?
If it’s snowing up north, that can only mean one thing for the rest of the country. You guessed it: rain.
