The announced weather conditions of the KNMI are for online supermarket picnic reason to inform customers now that they will have to do without delivery of the groceries this week. According to the KNMI, it will be extreme winter weather and it is not safe to go on the road. In the evening it starts to rain in the south, it quickly turns into snow, in the southeast possibly into sleet. The snow spreads further north. In the night to Sunday it continues to snow in many places, in the southeast there is a small chance of ice. From midnight, with the exception of Groningen, Friesland and the Wadden Islands, an orange code applies for drifting snow. Snow dunes can form, which can cause dangerous situations on the road.
Dear people, in the coming week please also think about the elderly, the chronically ill and others who are not mobile, so that they cannot go out for groceries. Take good care of each other.
Get your sled and snow shovel out of the shed because snow is coming, lots of snow. The KNMI has given a name to the low-pressure area that will cause the massive snowfall on Sunday evening: storm Darcy. Wind chill temperatures of up to -10 degrees are possible on Sundays. Rijkswaterstaat has made preparations for the snowfall and has 350 snow plows and 546 gritting trucks ready to keep the motorways clean.
On Sundays it snows for much of the day in much of the country, with perhaps half a meter of snow locally.
