Snowy Amsterdam

The harsh winter continues in Amsterdam. Well, its tough with Dutch standards but of course rather normal if you use Swedish measurements. Nevertheless trains stop running, mail doesn't show up and the country ran out of road salt making driving hazardous.
A big difference compared to Sweden is that they just don't have the machinery and staff, never mind organization, to deal with lots of snow. Which isn't strange since it so rare - they say that this is the toughest winter in the Netherlands in 30 years.
I kind of like it.

I took the photo on our street the 6th of January.
