Removing the snowMeanwhile , inside the greenhouse , people were knead hard , as counsel , to off the snow directly from the roof . That is not potential everywhere . Growers also blew steam into the glasshouse to combat the snow , share grower Rob van den Ende .
Heating just a small bit longer to get the snow off and then the vigour screen can be closed again , share Rob van der Wouw ( photo above ) from Jongfruit . It ’s a issue of balance , because the glasshouse must not collapse , but grower also need the optimum indoor climate for their crops .
Not all glasshouse kept all the snow out . Or with great trouble . alfresco , multitude worked severely to remove the way to the greenhouse and dock .

Also in neighbouring land , as from Germany , report reached the editor this dawn that the supply of a large supermarket chemical chain was not potential or scarce possible due to a ' flockdown ' ( here from our German editors ) . A driving forbiddance has been announced for truck over 7.5 tonnes in various regions along the border with the Netherlands . At the same time , various Dutch hauler submit this dawn , when questioned , that they did not have any real problems .
Weather alarmIn the Netherlands , it is rede not to motor if not stringently necessary .
mental picture of empty shelves were already shared this weekend . People begin hammer again . Vegetables were sold extensively , supermarket interpreter said . Photos of an empty banana shelf come along in the NOS liveblog .
And for growers it will remain exciting for a while , although if the forecasts are right , it should n’t snow much in the near future .

A ecumenical life lesson in conclusion , as Henry van der Lans put it : " Het kan sneeuwen en het kan dooien , maar als je op je smoel valt ben je vergeten te schuiven en / of te strooien ( It may be thawing or it may be hoodwink , if you accrue on your face , you should have started earlier gritting or shovelling ) .
