Some places in the southwest can get up to 5 centimeters of snow, according to meteorological institute KNMI.

The KNMI also issued a code yellow weather warning, advising motorists in the entire country to be careful of icy and slick roads. The warning takes effect on Saturday afternoon and stretches into Sunday morning.
