Overview
- The KNMI issued a code yellow for local slipperiness after 1–3 centimeters of snow, warning drivers of hazardous conditions through Sunday evening.
- Regional 112 liveblogs reported numerous slip-related accidents, including cars sliding into ditches near Ten Boer and Spijk in Groningen and an injury crash on the A28 between Ermelo and Putten, with extra gritting ordered in spots.
- In Utrecht, a cyclist was seriously injured after being struck by a car on Cartesiusweg; multiple emergency units and a trauma helicopter responded and police are investigating the cause.
- Rotterdam-Blijdorp residents were evacuated after a burning couch filled a portico flat with smoke; police designated the home a crime scene to examine possible arson, and separate center-city weapons alerts led to a knife arrest and a tram search that yielded no firearm.
- Snow disrupted football fixtures: FC Groningen’s 2-2 draw with PEC Zwolle included two stoppages and a late equaliser by Thom van Bergen, Feyenoord lost 4-2 to NEC for a third straight defeat, and FC Utrecht’s 1-1 at Telstar led coach Ron Jans to flag players’ short studs for internal review.
