Time for the first snowmen? According to Météo-France, it could snow on Thursday November 21 in around thirty departments.

Here are those who are concerned: Vendée, Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, Sarthe, Manche, Calvados, Orne, Eure-et-Loir, Loir-et-Cher, Loiret, Indre-et-Loire, Indre, Cher, Yonne, Nièvre, Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire, Haute-Saône, Jura, Doubs, Territoire de Belfort, Loire, Rhône, Ain, Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Ardèche, Drôme, Isère.

“Snow is possible at very low altitude all the way to the plain over a good northern half of the territory but there is still significant uncertainty both about the phenomenon and its intensity,” say the forecasters who also estimate that this snowy episode could continue, in lesser proportions, on Friday November 22 when even cooler temperatures are expected, and with them, a risk of the dreaded refreeze.

Risk of refreezing Friday November 22

In Île-de-France, Corsica, the South-East, the South-West and the North-West, the chances of seeing snowflakes on Thursday November 21 exist but remain low (less than 30%).
