- Story Text: Snowfall in the Netherlands may have caused a traffic nightmare for the country on roads, railways and airports, but those braving the weather in the centre of Amsterdam on Tuesday (January 15) found a silent winter wonderland on their doorstep.
The cold snap delighted the younger residents of the city, who played on sledges while happily oblivious to the problems faced by other modes of transport in the country.
Cyclists tried to brave the weather, but some found that pushing was quicker than riding as they made their way through town.
The silent atmosphere and scenic views are set to last for the near future as the snow continues to fall. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
