- Rijkswaterstaat deployed 577 gritters under its cold protocol and advised people to avoid non‑essential travel due to hard‑to‑see glaze ice.
- Public transport adjusted schedules, with Qbuzz canceling morning services until at least noon, NS and Arriva running reduced timetables, and Transdev planning normal service pending a pre‑dawn safety check.
- Many schools will open later on Monday, while the University of Groningen and Hanze University canceled morning exams; Utrecht University said on‑campus teaching resumes.
- Ice rinks drew crowds Sunday, but authorities warned nature ice is unsafe after multiple incidents, including rescues near Weesp, as a quick thaw is forecast with temperatures rising to 8–10°C this week.
