A 21 h 30the situation is complicated in all regions north of the Seine, up to Orne. In fact, the cold air resists and slows down the rise in temperature which will occur between this Sunday between 00 and 3 a.m. Thawing will be rapid afterwards. But in the meantime, snow continues to fall in part of Hauts-de-France, from Normandy to Champagne and Lorraine. Between Rouen, Paris and Dijon, it is freezing rain. The improvement will occur around midnight in these sectors, between 2 and 5 a.m. for the border regions of Germany and Belgium.
A 21 h, snow falls in North Picardy, causing traffic difficulties between Beauvais, Amiens and Arras. In the current, the situation will quickly improve in these areas with the rise in temperature and the thaw that will follow.
A 20h10in Vexin, between Paris and Rouen, the sleet and snow form a layer of ice. Temperatures are still close to 0°C, which slows down thawing.
A 20 hfreezing rain occurs on a Rouen / Dijon axis. In these sectors, the secondary road network resembles an ice rink. Several motorways are closed to traffic in Burgundy, including the A6 motorway.
A 19 h 30the situation is now deteriorating rapidly to the east of a Rouen / Paris / Dijon line where sleet falls on ground that is still partially frozen, forming a layer of ice on the ground.
A 18 h 15, the disturbance concerns the entire north of the country. A little rain and a few flakes are reported between Normandy, Picardy, the Paris region and Burgundy, without any real aggravation.
However, if you are traveling between Rouen, Beauvais and Amiens to the outskirts of Île-de-France, still be careful on the secondary network because patches of ice may form this evening.
A 16 h 30, the cold is still resisting in the east and north of the country where the thaw is slow.
