Temps set to get colder, falling as low as -6 degrees; Snow harder to predict

NL Times  

The chilly weather in the Netherlands is expected to continue for most of the next two weeks. Some weather models have suggested the possibility of heavy snow in the Netherlands starting on Wednesday, but RTL Nieuws said the situation remains extremely variable. Forecasting winter weather one week out is more a sport for snow fans carried away by the hope of large drifts of white powder. However, the weather system could also pass the Netherlands by, with snow skipping the country and falling on the Alps instead. The KNMI’s official definition is consistent snow cover both on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, which has only happened eight times since 1901.
