oosthuizen - While the terraces Wednesday are already full in many places in the Netherlands with sunbathers, some lucky today still bound under the skates.

'It was really the last schaatsdag today,' says ijsliefhebber Rogé Haan De Telegraaf recalling his self discovered skate spot, a fen in Oosthuizen. 'The thin ijsschotjes arrived crisp while driving from wakken. '

He continues: 'It's always colder than elsewhere. People believe it too often, because locks are anywhere without ice or very little ice. '

Yet Haan is one of the few Wednesday still can skate on natural ice. 'What I do is very specialized,' says the natural ice enthusiast, who has been skating since childhood. 'I know exactly when it can or can not, off to the nearest millimeter. Sometimes I drill and measure the ice thickness. '

With the rising temperatures we take this day goodbye to the frost. Yet last night the inland still frozen in several places. Similarly in the North Holland Oosthuizen.

According to the nearest station KNMI the lowest temperature there was below freezing tonight. 'Due to the cold east wind it can thereby have been locally cold enough that the natural ice was strong enough to skate on,' said Weather Plaza.

Elsewhere in the country, many Dutch people get spring already in their sphere. Social media plunge plenty of pictures on sunny terraces.

Such is the Court in the center of Amersfoort already full of people with sunglasses.

In Amsterdam all sunbathers are satisfied with their noses in the sun.

And in Voorburg is Wednesday already renamed a 'beautiful day'.
