“ The arrival of a new disturbance on Thursday morning will cause a significant snowfall, first in the Hauts-de-France, then in the north of the Grand-Est region. This episode will be rather brief in duration because the rain will eventually replace the snow; however, the snow intensities will be temporarily marked “, details Météo-France, which adds:” On this episode, the snow accumulations will reach 3 to 6 cm on the departments placed in orange alert, locally up to 10 cm on the relief of Ardennes and the far north of Lorraine. “
