Enchanted by the magic of snow in the Amsterdam Jordaan

on February 7, 2021, blizzard Darcy raged across Western Europe, a strong wind accompanied by drifting snow. The last heavy snowstorm in Amsterdam dates from 1985. In the evening the storm had died down. Wind, cold, dark? It's minus eight degrees celcius. All reasons to go outside. Scarf on, walking shoes on and into the city centre. Do you see those lights, do you see the smoke coming out of the chimney and do you hear the fire crackling? The snow reflects the light in the evening, giving you a beautiful view. I enjoy the sound of crunching snow under my shoes and the beautiful view of the Amsterdam canal houses. Walking in winter is not only a guarantee for red cheeks and a breath of fresh air, but is also good for body and soul. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in winter. The Jordaan is covered with thick snow as above on the Bloemgracht. There is a tranquil beauty of snow and cozy light inside the cancal houses. A white blanket does indeed make Amsterdam slightly different from those other 360 days of the year: different views, different sounds, different light. A winter party sprinkled with white confetti. And it is quite simply a welcome break in the covid-19 lockdown. A period when the days start to look more and more alike and string together in a uniform slurry, with only the longing for the future as a ray of light in the darkness of the curfew. The snow remains at this temperature. More than 10 centimeters of snow has fallen. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen, go sledding and adults go cross-country skiing. All fun activities that people do in this beautiful snowy world.

Storm Darcy was a storm that hit parts of Western Europe from February 7, 2021. In the Netherlands, Belgium, the east of the United Kingdom and parts of the north and west of Germany, strong winds were accompanied by drifting snow, creating snow dunes. The last heavy snowstorm in Amsterdam dates from 1985. The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Adults even go cross-country skiing. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. It's a joy to walk around the canals in my neighborhood. Photo taken here at the Bloemgracht. The Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn had a studio on the Bloemgracht in the 1660s.

op 7 februari 2021 raasde sneeuwstorm Darcy over West- Europa deze hard wind ging gepaard met stuifsneeuw. De laatste zware sneeuwstorm in Amsterdam dateert van 1985. In de avond was de storm gaan liggen. Wind, kou, donker? Het is min acht graden. Allemaal redenen om juist wel naar buiten te gaan. Sjaal om, wandelschoenen aan en de Jordaan in. Zie je die lichtjes, zie je het rook uit de schoorsteen en hoor je de openhaard knetteren? De sneeuw reflecteert het licht in de avond, waardoor je een prachtig zicht hebt. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. 's Winters wandelen is niet alleen een garantie voor rode wangen en een frisse neus, maar is ook goed voor lichaam en geest. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam centrum is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw zoals hierboven op de Brouwersgracht. Er is een verstilde schoonheid van sneeuw en kou. Een witte deken maakt Amsterdam inderdaad net even anders dan die andere 360 dagen in het jaar: andere uitzichten, andere geluiden, andere lichtval. Een winterfeest besprenkeld met witte confetti. En het is simpelweg ook een welkome onderbreking in de coronalockdown. Een periode waarin de dagen steeds meer op elkaar gaan lijken en zich aaneenrijgen in een uniforme brij, met alleen het verlangen naar de toekomst als een lichtpuntje in het duister van de avondklok. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan 10 centimeters sneeuw gevallen. Foto van de grachtenpanden op de Bloemgracht.
