It doesn’t look like we’ll be going on any boattrips soon. It’s been snowing steadily since this morning, and there must be about 20 cm of snow. Which is a lot in these parts. The snow acts as a kind of muffler, making everything a lot more quiet. As long as you don’t have to go anywhere, it’s beautiful. But there are probably a lot of traffic jams because of this…
Because of all the bridges in Amsterdam, snow is usually swiftly followed by gritting (and road salt-) trucks, which leads to the creation of a horrible, sooty black slush. I’d much rather have clean white snow – that doesn’t get into your shoes too much.
