« The forecasts are confirmed”: in its bulletin this Friday morning, Météo France confirms that the Haut-Rhin department remains on orange snow-ice alert this morning, and draws up an initial assessment of this particularly early snow episode.
Haut-Rhin at the heart of the disruption
“Eastern Franche-Comté and Haut-Rhin are the areas most affected by the snow episode. Snow depths of 15 to 25 cm are recorded there, continues Météo France. At the end of the night from Thursday to Friday, temperatures sometimes dropped sharply in snowy areas. At 6 a.m., they are generally between -3 to -10 degrees. These negative temperatures in the second part of the night allowed a widespread refreezing of wet and snow-covered roads which could make them very slippery, hence an extension of the orange alert until Friday midday. »
Transportation very disrupted
At 6:30 a.m., the European Community of Alsace had not been able to send a detailed winter service bulletin, but its Inforoute Alsace site showed “delicate” traffic on many major roads, including the RD1066, the A36 motorways. and A35 to Duppigheim, even “difficult” in Sundgau and the Three Borders sector.
Public transport is also seriously disrupted: in addition to the ban on school transport, announced this Thursday evening by the prefect of Haut-Rhin via the FR-Alert system, the Soléa public transport network announced that trams and trams trains were stopped. In Colmar, the Trace network indicates that it is functioning but ““Traffic remains delicate, which could lead to delays,” it warns on its website.
