Dutch weather may spoil New Year’s dips | Radio Netherlands Worldwide

The unseasonably cold weather in the Netherlands has led to some New Year’s dips being cancelled. There were meant to be 81 places in the Netherlands where those hardy enough, or just foolhardy, would be able to take a cold plunge in the water outdoors.

So far, Dutch food brand Unox, which sponsors the dips, has announced 17 cancellations.
