Overview
- The KNMI kept winter alerts in force, shifting some regions from code orange to code yellow after locally 5–10 centimeters of snow fell across a central band of the country.
- A head‑on collision on the N304 near Ugchelen left one person dead, while a train struck a car at a level crossing near Zevenaar with a family of four escaping serious injury.
- Schiphol recorded nearly 200 flight cancellations and Rotterdam The Hague Airport reported delays, as NS trimmed services and regional bus operators curtailed routes in several cities.
- Rijkswaterstaat reported close to ten million kilos of salt spread nationwide and Rotterdam deployed double gritting crews, with officials urging drivers to slow down and keep distance.
- Patchy, intense snow and hail created mirror‑slick stretches that sent vehicles into ditches and water across multiple provinces, including closures on the A28 near Eelde and incidents in Flevoland and Drenthe.
