Overview
- Rijkswaterstaat reported road congestion dropping to about 50 kilometers by late morning, though incidents persisted including a jackknifed truck on the A12 that required the Firestorm ice-removal unit.
- NS kept all trains halted nationwide until 10:00 due to switch failures and an IT problem, then resumed a reduced service, while several regional bus networks continued to face suspensions or delays.
- KNMI maintained code yellow for widespread slipperiness on Tuesday and forecast extensive snowfall on Wednesday, prompting fresh calls to avoid travel or work from home where possible.
- Authorities kept a large winter-response fleet active—577 gritters, 630 snowploughs and around 1,500 staff—while noting that clearing is slowed when these vehicles are caught in queues.
- Broader impacts continued with postponed motor and moped exams at CBR, supermarket delivery cancellations and delays, and earlier flight diversions even as some airports and routes improved Tuesday.
