The national forecaster expects between 2 and 5 centimeters in the plains, including Paris and its inner suburbs, as well as 7 centimeters in Essonne. At altitude, Météo-France forecasts up to 10 centimeters of snow above 200 meters. Total accumulations could also reach 10 centimeters on the Normandy hills. In eastern Franche-Comté, 15 to 20 centimeters of snow are expected. During the night, snowflakes fell in Germany but also in Belgium, south of Brussels.
“This snow will be particularly wet and could pose problems for transport,” warns Météo-France. As a result, school and commercial transport lines will be suspended all day in Calvados, Eure, Manche and Orne. School transport will also be interrupted in Eure-et-Loir, where expected snow depths are between 1 and 5 centimeters, and could go up to 10 centimeters.
“In this episode, we expect gusts generally between 100 and 120 km/h on the coast of the departments placed on orange vigilance, and even occasionally up to 130 km/h possible on the exposed islands and capes”, also indicates the bulletin.

Answer
Météo-France mentions an “early winter episode for the regions concerned and sufficiently notable to make traffic conditions difficult”. The passage of this depression occurs under the influence, from Wednesday, of a “polar air mass” causing temperatures to drop. The latter “should peak between 5 and 10°C at the best of the day, i.e. values comparable to the January averages”, indicates Météo-France on its website.
