Overview
- Thursday’s snow triggered KNMI code yellow for slippery conditions, with most areas seeing 1–3 cm and a narrow Rivierengebied zone locally near 5 cm.
- Operational responses included municipal gritting and about 100 flight cancellations at Schiphol, though Utrecht’s morning commute saw few snow-related traffic issues.
- The snowfall eased by late morning as temperatures rose above freezing, reducing icing risk and turning precipitation to rain in southern areas.
- Southerly and southwesterly winds now bring a softer, unsettled pattern, with weekend highs around 10–12°C, frequent rain and periods of strong wind.
- Regional outlooks point to a drier Tuesday and a likely ‘first lentedag’ on Wednesday, when sunshine and a southern flow could lift readings to 16–17°C, possibly 18°C in places.
