Photos: Zuid-Limburg gets a layer of snow

The southern parts of Limburg got some snowfall on Friday. The higher areas in the hills had a layer of snow between 3 and 8 centimeters deep, even reaching 10 centimeters on the Vaalserberg, Weeronline reported.

As temperatures in the area remained below freezing, the snow stuck around for a while. Meteorological institute KNMI warned that this could cause slippery roads.

The rest of the Netherlands is unlikely to see any snow this weekend.

❄️☃️❄️ In het zuiden van #Limburg op de #Vaalserberg ligt inmiddels een deftig pak #sneeuw. 10 centimeter wordt er gemeten. 📸: @offermanns_r

Vanwege alle coronamaatregelen is het niet verstandig om daar nu massaal heen te gaan. Gewoon lekker digitaal genieten. pic.twitter.com/1IDYdVN8sZ
