Snow for the first time this year in Groningen

This Winter, Groningen is the first region in the Netherlands to see snow. On Tuesday morning, a thin layer of wet snow covered the streets of the Dutch province, particularly in Wagenborgen.

According to the regional broadcaster, RTV Noord, the possibility for snow would continue throughout the morning and early afternoon with temperatures remaining close to zero.

The KNMI issued a code yellow warning for Monday night into Tuesday morning due to icy roads. Gritter trucks were busy distributing salt to prevent any accidents from occurring.

More wet snow could fall on New Year's Eve and also January 3 and 4.
