I know it's summer, but I have a question about winter... sorry I'm moving to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and I'm trying to understand its winter climate. Specifically, I wonder if during cold snaps snow falls equally in Amsterdam Area, along the coast close to Amsterdam, and in towns like Utrecht, Hilversum, Almere, Volendam. Or does it snow more inland then along the coast? Thank you and... happy summer

The coast will be milder in winter than inland areas. Further east and north you get the colder winters are.

So that means that if snow is falling on Amsterdam, on the coast is probably raining, while east of the city snow will be deeper?

Depends on winds. The Netherlands is very exposed to North Sea lows which can raise the temperature of a cold airmass locally.

Yes thats a possibility during marginal snow events. So it could be just above freezing on the coast while snowing further inland. The further inland you are the more likely precipitation will fall as snow during coldsnaps.

My point was North-Eastern Netherlands will see colder winters on average than the coast.

Bear in mind the Netherlands doesn't get super cold during the winter so don't expect a winter wonderland more like rain and overcast skies.

The one thats most inland.

Coast = less snow
