Things That Might Happen in the Netherlands if It Snows

1) It might take you four hours to go somewhere with the train that would usually take you two hours.

2) The buses might also run "a little" late.

3) Maybe the highway will also get packed up for 30 kilometers, and it might take people until 10:00 at night to get home from work.

4) The snow might melt, get rained on, refreeze, and then get snowed on again.
If this happens:

• It could be extremely dangerous to bike to school.
• Or to walk outside your door.
• You will see lots of people fall.
• Training gets canceled because the track is pure ice, and the bike path is ice and slush.
• There will be no more road salt left in all of Holland.
• You'll see lots of people walking with their bikes.

5) The boys who usually stand in the park and smoke might abandon smoking and throw snowballs at you when you bike by.

6) Biking might be really hard because if you look straight up the snow flies into your eyes and makes you blind.

7) When you look across the fields the only thing you see is white, and you might hardly be able to tell where the sky starts and the field stops.

8) Maybe it will be just as beautiful as it is in Wisconsin when it's just snowed and the sun shines, and there's ice on the trees- just in a different way.

9) Maybe you'll want to sit inside drinking tea, eating borenkol, sitting at the dinner table for hours, and not doing your homework.
