Hooray! The first snowflakes have fallen. For some it means playing nice with you (rear-wheel drive) car, but for others, it remains a challenge.

The first accidents are all a fact. Especially ditches are in demand, but also trees and lampposts are a willing end point of the slippartij. Here are no injuries cases, but it remains to be careful. Straw does not mean that the road is suddenly safe! Especially in Groningen, it is very smooth.

In Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe will be there today and tomorrow morning to have snow fall. Because here also freezing rain can sit, the KNMI code orange issued. The police advises: “If you are using the road, adjust your speed and departure on time.”
