Winter in Holland

Dutch winter pictures

Amsterdam Tourist Information and Smits Koffiehuis

The Netherlands is still covered with snow, after a month, since the first snowfall last December. And it is still snowing. This is a rarity. In the recent past the Dutch had been accustomed to a few hours of snowfall that would be lucky to last even for a day. Sometimes a whole winter passed without having snow at all.

But this time… its different. Have a glimpse of these random winter scenes in Holland.
