The lull has not yet arrived on the roads of the Manche department. There snow still falls particularly in the South Channel where 30 centimeters are well exceeded.

As a result, traffic conditions remain delicate on the main network and even impossible on the secondary network.

A long line of stopped trucks

At 11 a.m. in the town center of Sourdeval, a line of around thirty trucks was stopped in the middle of the road. The drivers chat on the sidewalks in front of the shops. The department's salt spreaders are rotating multiple times to clear the layer of snow and deposit brine to improve traffic conditions.

Agricultural companies to the rescue to clear snow

In the city, agricultural entrepreneurs take over to clear snow while Enedis services intervene to restore power.

Many trees are bending under the weight of this heavy, sticky snow.

A little further along the hunting hill, a heavy goods vehicle is immobilized and is unable to restart due to the slippery road surface.

Conditions should improve during the afternoon, but it is still strongly recommended not to take your vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
