The Côte-d'Or under a white coat. This is what should await us Thursday and Friday according to MétéoNews forecasts. “The snow forecast has been holding steady and becoming clearer for 3-4 days now. Today, the question is not whether it will snow but how intense this snow episode will be,” explains forecaster Stéphane Nedeljkovitch.
7 centimeters, or even more, in Dijon and Beaune
For now, forecasts anticipate 2 to 3 centimeters of snow in the north of the department, particularly in the Châtillon-sur-Seine sector. In the center and south of the Côte-d'Or, and particularly in Dijon, the accumulation should reach 5 to 7 centimeters. And this could increase further: “In Saône-et-Loire, we expect up to 20 centimeters. One of the uncertainties is whether the trajectory of the disturbance will not evolve and bring these greater accumulations to Côte-d'Or. »
First flakes Thursday morning
This snowy episode is expected to begin in the early hours of Thursday morning. “It should snow between 6 and 8 hours before the precipitation increases around 9-10 hours. This snowfall is expected to last up to 16 hours. »
And the snow should stick to the ground. Indeed, the barely positive temperatures of Thursday afternoon will not melt the snow. No more than the frosts expected during the night from Thursday to Friday, with minimums of around -5 to -2°C on Friday. In the afternoon, the thaw will begin with temperatures around 3°C and beautiful sunshine which should offer sublime landscapes.
For the future, one thing is certain: there will be no more trace of snow on Sunday. Indeed, the rise in temperatures promises to be spectacular with maximums of around 16 to 17°C!
