For Those not in the Netherlands...

...and for those that don't look out of the window: Weather update! It seems that the winter madness is soon to be over. The -20.7C new dutch March record has been set. In Utrecht we only got down to -16C; cold nevertheless. We've had a 9cm snow pack locally officially (KNMI, Bilt) and a further 3 have just fallen. In Drenthe there is more than 40cm. The chaos is less than expected: only one count of not using machinery to make roads accesible: the machines couldn't stay on the road themselves! In the meantime, the South-East of England does have all the chaos - schools are apperently closed again. It was fun more than a decade ago, I wonder if it still is...
