With 41 days of snow so far in the country as a whole and 55 in the north east, this winter has been the snowiest in 30 years, the KNMI weather bureau said on Friday.

And with an average temperature of 1.1 Celsius, it was also the coldest in 14 years, the KNMI said.
In a normal winter, there are an average 13 days of snow.
The temperature was below zero for 55 nights over the past three months, compared with 38 in an average year. And it remained below freezing for 20 full 24-hour periods.
The KNMI says global warming means the Netherlands will only have such a severe winter once in every 15 years. Last century the risk was one in six.
