Holland is pathetic, the whole country is in great disorder when there's 2 inches of snow. That's mainly because ( here it comes, don't laugh at us ) trains don't drive because the tracks are frozen. Generally they're warmed electrically, but here they do it with a burner. On gas. So we need a small flame that's permenantly on so the gas can ignite. So everytime it rains/snows, a dude from the ns ( train organisation) needs to go past all those tracks to relight the flames.
