Treacherously slippery on Dutch roads

Be careful if you go out this morning because despite the fact that the temperature is well above zero according to most of the thermometers causes ground frost in large parts of the Netherlands for the problems this morning.

The exit Rijswijk-Centrum and exit Plaspoelpolder of the A4 have been closed due to ice on the road surface and the N201 between Aalsmeer and Amstelveen is for the same reason, even completely closed, there must be re-sprinkled. On the A9 applies, a speed limit at the junction Raasdorp on the road to the A5.

In particular, from the provinces of Limburg, North-Brabant, South-Holland and North-Holland regent reports about smoothness, according to the Traffic Information Service VID. Also in the rest of the country is, however, to beware of blown, especially on rural roads and on freeway entrances and exits. From the province of Groningen the first reports of accidents within, in Scheemda ended up a car in the ditch.

The smoothness is particularly insidious because it starts to frost on the ground while many thermometers (including your car) a temperature of a few degrees above zero indicate. The ein-the-body time for the winter tires to mount?
