Many (but not all) major roads are open, trains are running but flights are cancelled. Local bus services are patchy, depending on the actual route.
The main problem for travelling is ungritted minor roads and those with inclines (not a big issue in Netherlands :)), steep or otherwise. Some places are expected to drop to -18C tonight. The snow has frozen solid, making walking and driving hazardous on uncleared surfaces.
We shouldn't complain though because it's not been this bad since 1981. Other Northern countries have it worse than this every year. We're just not used to it. Yes, I'm enjoying the extended holiday, giving me extra time to get on with my husband's accounts and some schoolwork. Thanks for your thoughts. :)
