Snow and Ice Snarl Dutch Transport as KNMI Extends Warning to Tuesday

The KNMI extends its yellow warning into Tuesday due to persistent snow and freezing conditions.

Overview

  • Schiphol reports major disruption with more than 400 flights canceled because of the winter weather.
  • Arriva and Hermes suspend bus services in parts of Brabant, with operators reviewing conditions after midday.
  • Rail services face delays and cancellations as frozen switches disrupt operations, including no Sprinters between Tilburg and Boxtel and fewer Intercity trains between Eindhoven and Sittard.
  • Rijkswaterstaat says more than 9 million kilos of salt have been spread nationwide since Friday evening to combat icy roads.
  • Police report numerous slide-offs on slick roads, including a Barendrecht car partly in a ditch with the driver arrested, and they are investigating a pre-dawn house explosion in Hoogvliet with no injuries.
