• The complete weather forecasts from our partner “La Chaine Meteo” can be discovered in the video at the top of the article. Météo France insists: “The snowfall will continue to weaken in the west while it will continue for a few more hours in the east. This morning, even if the snowfall has stopped in the west of the departments on orange alert, the greatest caution remains required due to the presence of snow or even ice on the ground, and small accumulations due to the wind. […] This afternoon the snow only concerns Franche Comté and Alsace, beautiful clearings are developing from Brittany to Lorraine but the atmosphere remains cold. Precipitation also concerns Rhône-Alpes, PACA and Corsica this morning, often moderate and even significant in the Alps. The rain-snow limit is around 400m in the northern Alps, 1000m in the south”. 
• 20 cm of snow has accumulated in Brittany. The flakes gradually spread towards the east of the country, before arriving in "Île-de-France" and in the night in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
• No department has been placed on orange alert for "extreme cold". But the icy air continues to envelop the territories of Hauts-de-France and extends as far as the east of the country. Beware, the freezing cold should last until the end of the week, according to the forecasts of the Weather Channel.
