Building a snowman, sledding or a walk or ride on your horse through the white world:
2026 has started with winter days. Up to ten centimeters of snow fell locally, and winter showers with (wet) snow and hail will also pass over the country in the coming days. In some nature reserves, such as the Gulbergen near Nuenen in Brabant, it was so busy that the police temporarily closed the access road. To keep the roads as passable as possible, Rijkswaterstaat deployed 577 gritters and 630 snow plows. More than 10 million kilos of salt were spread. (NRC)
