I noticed that the amount of snow seems to be accumulating in The Netherlands. Earlier this day, Alfons forwarded me pictures of kids (apparently) enjoying 4 to 5 centimeters of snow. It looks like heavy slushy snow, but still more than I’ve seen the last 5 to 7 years when I was living over there.
Looking at the the Dutch (news) reports, traffic was chaotic, which led to the following question here: do Dutch use snowplows when there’s this much snow falling?
I can’t remember. Back when I was younger and when snow was accumulating to the same amounts they have now, I remember throwing snowballs at salt trucks. But then, I know the answer already: when I was over there last year I remember seeing all those speedbumps and roundabouts. There’s so much traffic, those things are the only way to force drivers to slow down.
As for the snow… enjoy it for now. It’s almost Spring.
