Overview
- The KNMI has issued code orange for glaze ice overnight in most provinces, later extending it to South Holland, with warnings expected to persist mainly in the northeast by Monday morning.
- Rijkswaterstaat activated its cold protocol, deployed 577 gritters and urged people not to travel unless necessary due to very slippery roads and hard‑to‑see ice.
- Public transport adjustments include Qbuzz canceling buses Monday morning until at least 12:00 in the north, while NS and Arriva operate reduced winter timetables with some shortened or suspended services.
- Municipalities and schools are delaying Monday start times in several areas, and Utrecht’s operator expects trams and buses to run but will reassess road conditions at dawn.
- Ice rinks were busy on Sunday, yet authorities warned against natural ice after a rescue at the Hoornsemeer, and a thaw from Monday is forecast to end skating as temperatures rise to about 8–10°C later in the week.
