Light Overnight Snow Dusts Netherlands as KNMI Flags Slippery Travel

Forecasters expect only a thin, short‑lived cover with rain and milder air erasing most of it by tonight into Monday.

Overview

  • In many places about 1–2 cm settled, with local peaks near 3 cm in West Brabant and more persistence on higher or sheltered surfaces such as the Veluwe.
  • KNMI issued code yellow for local slipperiness, with timings varying by region as advisories were lifted in some areas by midmorning and adjusted elsewhere through the day.
  • Early risers saw the most snow after bands arrived late Saturday night, and a new pulse this afternoon and early evening could briefly whiten parts of the north and east.
  • Authorities urged caution on bridges, viaducts, bike lanes and footpaths, advising cyclists to lower saddles and tire pressure and motorists to prepare winter-ready vehicles.
  • Temperatures hover near 1–3°C on Sunday before turning wetter and milder, with most snow melting this evening and highs around 6–8°C with rain on Monday.
