Heavy snowfall in The Netherlands 2009

An official weather alarm was issued for the entire country by the Dutch meteorological institute (KNMI) on December 20, 2009, due to heavy snowfall (15--20 cm) in the west of the country which eventually expanded to the entire country.

In most cities, bus traffic was halted to a stop, and tram services were halted in all four major cities.

The largest train provider, NS, advised people not to travel by train, and maintained an altered and severely less-frequent time-table.

Drivers were advised not to travel by car, unless strictly necessary. Follow-up of this advice was large, as streets and highways were relatively quiet.
