Météo-France announces a winter episode (snow and freezing rain) requiring special vigilance from Saturday January 4, 2025 at 9 p.m. until Sunday January 5 12 p.m.. The episode concerns everything Great Eastand therefore the Lorraine.
In Moselle in particular, the snow could fall in significant quantities (locally 5 cm) and persist for a few hours on the ground. THE conditions de circulation can become difficult across the entire network, particularly in the forestry sector where falling trees can increase the difficulties. Some damage may affect the electricity and telephone distribution networks and accident risks are increased.
The Moselle prefecture recommends
- to limit your travel;
- to adapt the speed of your vehicle to the condition of the road and to scrupulously respect the
safety distances; - to facilitate the passage of road salting equipment, in particular by parking your vehicle
correctly ; - protect yourself from falls and protect others by clearing the sidewalk in front of your home;
- to install generators outside the house and not to use heaters

Weather phenomenon
Following a widespread cold air mass across the entire northeast, a disturbance arrives at the end of
day and provides significantly softer air. It crosses the region from the southwest to the northeast.
The meeting of these two air masses will lead to winter precipitation when the disturbance arrives, from the end of the afternoon. We are therefore expecting snow followed by freezing rain. Precipitation will continue thereafter but should lose its freezing character.
