Overview
- KNMI’s code orange persists across much of the country, with Flevoland extended to 18:00, as hours of snowfall, poor visibility and slick surfaces are reported.
- Road congestion hit roughly 704 kilometers at the morning peak and still measured about 275 kilometers near 10:00, despite many people working from home.
- Multiple bus operators kept fleets in depots through the morning in cities including The Hague and Rotterdam, with decisions on limited restarts taken later locally.
- NS operated a reduced winter timetable but warned of increasing switch failures, halting trains around Rotterdam and Breda and disrupting the high‑speed line to Belgium, and advised postponing non‑essential travel.
- Local services faced strain, with Barneveld nearing a road‑salt shortage and precautionary roof load checks at Groningen’s IKEA, as round‑the‑clock plowing and gritting continued.
