Brine on the road
Temperatures are dropping nicely. Last night and tonight, for the first time this season, national salt was sprinkled to prevent smoothness.
Recently, local spreading has already taken place, but now for the first time, national roads have also been sprinkled. According to Rijkswaterstaat, a total of 26,600 km was spread across all provinces. A total of 1,475,185 kilograms of salt was sprinkled on the roads. According to Rijkswaterstaat and the KNMI, it can still be slippery locally on Friday morning.
Temperatures will remain quite low for a while longer, especially in the north of the country. Around 8:00 am. In Groningen and the north of Drenthe it was still -6 degrees Celsius locally, while in the center of the country it was already around freezing point. In addition, it can be foggy throughout the country, enough for the KNMI to issue code yellow.
