It will stay dry longer in many places on Saturday. In the evening it will rain from the south, but this will quickly turn into snow or sleet. It will be 0 degrees in Groningen to 6 degrees in the south.
On Sunday the snow will spread from the south over almost the entire country. This can cause a strong wind. In some places the snowfall can reach 10 or even 20 centimeters.
The KNMI has the low-pressure area on Friday evening that will cause massive snowfall on Sunday given a name: storm Darcy.
For a large part of the country it applies from midnight code orange, because the snow in combination with a strong wind can cause dangerous situations, for example in traffic. Because it is a strong easterly wind, snow dunes can form. Freezing rain is also possible in the southeast.
Weerplaza advises everyone who goes out on Sunday to dress warmly. On Sundays, wind chill temperatures of up to -10 degrees are possible.
Rijkswaterstaat has made preparations for the snowfall and has 350 snow plows and 546 gritting trucks ready to keep the highways clean. The NS also says it is ready for the storm.
