In Amsterdam, for the first time in 6 years, the canals froze: the Dutch took to their skates. A PHOTO. VIDEO
In the Dutch city it is so cold that some canals froze, turning them into a winter wonderland for ice skating fans, writes The Guardian.
The cold weather in Europe has caused a rare phenomenon in Holland: part of the Amsterdam canals froze, allowing locals to skate through the canals.
For the first time in six years, part of the canals of Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht froze enough to withstand a mass of dozens of tourists, local residents and ice skating enthusiasts.

However, unusual conditions have become a trap for some skate lovers. Those who came out on thin ice on Thursday, 1 March, failed. So one couple fell through thin ice, but was saved by passersby.
After heavy snowfalls and deadly blizzards in some regions of Europe on Friday there were minor improvements in weather conditions, although the temperature remained generally at zero, which caused significant delays on roads, railways and airports.
