Overview
- Overnight repair work reduced rail faults, though frozen switches still hamper some operations and freight areas such as Rotterdam’s Waalhaven and Kijkhoek remain constrained.
- Buses and trams restarted in many regions with RET, Qbuzz and others rolling out services, while Utrecht deploys shuttle routes and smaller vehicles with safety checks at depots every two hours.
- KNMI maintains a national yellow warning for slipperiness and upgrades Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe and the Wadden to orange from midnight with 5 to 15 centimeters of snow and drifting expected.
- Weeronline warns that evening rain can create very slick surfaces, with additional snowfall and a sharp freeze forecast through the weekend.
- Local services adapt as waste collection resumes in some areas but remains delayed elsewhere, several facilities close or clear snow from roofs, and Rotterdam The Hague Airport reports normal departures this morning.
