Cycling through the snow shower in Amsterdam's Jordaan

On the 16th of January it snowed for the first time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was around freezing, the snow stayed there for a while. It only got a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. In addition to the nuisance, the snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in Amsterdam's Jordaan. Snowball fight, make snowmen or go sledding. All fun activities that children do in this beautiful snowy world. Those who think away for a while can imagine themselves in Hendrick Avercamp's world today. The snow was enough for a few hours of uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Earlier in the afternoon it was still quiet on the gray canals, since the first snow had stuck to the ground by four o'clock, the neighborhood has turned out for an hour of carefree winter entertainment. The chance that the snow will still be there tomorrow morning seems quite small. During the night the snow may turn into rain and during the day it will be about 6 degrees.

This evening I walk in my neighbourhood and made some beautiful photos of a little layer of snow. The virgin white carpet of snow is crunching under my shoes. I began to remember why I love the winters so much. This time around, the canals remained relatively ice-free and there was a little layer of snow. Photo taken here at the corner of Nieuwe Leliestraat and Derde Egelantiersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam.

Op 16 januari heeft het voor het eerst deze winter gesneeuwd in Amsterdam. Omdat de temperatuur rond het vriespunt lag, bleef de sneeuw eventjes liggen. Een paar centimeters sneeuw werden het maar. Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. Naast de overlast zorgt de sneeuw ook voor veel plezier bij kinderen hier in de Amsterdamse Jordaan. Sneeuwballen gevecht, sneeuwpoppen maken of sleetje rijden. Allemaal leuke activiteiten die kinderen doen in deze mooie besneeuwde wereld. Wie even wegdenkt kan zich vandaag in Hendrick Avercamps wereld wanen. De sneeuw was voldoende voor een paar uur ongeremde winterpret in de straten van Amsterdam. Was het eerder op de middag nog rustig op de grijze grachten, sinds de eerste sneeuw tegen vier uur aan de grond bleef plakken, is de buurt uitgelopen voor een uurtje onbekommerd wintervermaak. De kans dat de sneeuw er morgenochtend nog ligt lijkt vrij klein. In de nacht gaat de sneeuw mogelijk over in regen en overdag wordt het dan zo'n 6 graden.
