Ice, ice baby… watch out!
Blame it on theCombo of overnight temperatures plummeting and post-snowfall runoff, but the national weather service has issued extensive ice warnings for the entire country. Today’sAlert level is code yellow, meaning you should take ‘extra precautions’ and expect disruptions in daily life.
While the snow has mostly melted away, icy patches remain, and more frost isexpected overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning. The KNMI has specifically warned of hazardous conditions for cyclists and drivers, so prepare to take it slow and steady.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you
As the weather service has been,
**’Work hard, play hard’ doesn’t apply when it comes to driving safely during winter weather. Slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and be courteous to fellow road users.
