“It will snow later in the night, it will move further into the province from the northwest,” Boer expects. “The snow remains hanging over the province, but further east it thins out.”
Thick flakes
Traffic will certainly notice. ‘The morning rush hour is in the middle. And they are thick flakes, which is encouraging.’
Rijkswaterstaat: ‘Work from home if possible’
Rijkswaterstaat calls on people to work from home on Wednesday if possible and not to go on the road. “The wind is also increasing in strength, which can cause poor visibility during snow showers,” the road manager warns.
Due to the snow, Rijkswaterstaat expects ‘a very busy’ morning rush hour. On Tuesday, the morning rush hour was not too bad in most places in the country. It seems that many people have already started working from home of their own accord, the ANWB, among others, concluded.
Spreaders
According to an overview kept online by the road authority, almost 7 million kilos of salt was spread on Tuesday alone. Since last autumn, the gritters and snow plows have traveled more than a million kilometers, according to the same overview.

Wednesday’s commute could be treacherous, as snow is expected to intensify overnight and blanket the region, according to forecaster Boer. “It will snow later in the night, it will move further into the province from the northwest,” Boer said, adding that while the snow will linger, it will become lighter further east.
Snowfall Prompts Work-From-Home Advisories
Road managers are urging drivers to stay off the roads if possible as a significant snow event unfolds.
- Snow is expected to develop overnight and impact Wednesday morning’s commute.
- Rijkswaterstaat is advising people to work from home to avoid hazardous road conditions.
- Almost 7 million kilos of salt were spread on Tuesday in preparation for the winter weather.
- Gritters and snow plows have already logged over a million kilometers since last autumn.
The morning rush hour is expected to be particularly difficult, with “thick flakes” already falling. Rijkswaterstaat is strongly recommending that people work from home on Wednesday if feasible, citing increasing winds and the potential for reduced visibility during snow showers. “The wind is also increasing in strength, which can cause poor visibility during snow showers,” a road manager warned.
Tuesday’s morning commute was surprisingly manageable, with many people apparently opting to work remotely, according to observations from the ANWB. However, officials anticipate a much busier Wednesday morning due to the intensifying snowfall.
