Snow leads to long rush hour jams

The snowfall in the early hours of Wednesday morning led to long jams in much of the country during the rush hour.


In particular, the roads around Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam have been badly affected. The snow fell mainly in the west and central areas.
By 8.30 am there were 320 km of jams, compared with 180 km on a normal day, according to motoring organisation ANWB.
With temperatures remaining around zero for most of the day, the roads are likely to remain slipppery everywhere, the organisation said.
