Nearly 550 km of traffic jams in Île-de-France this Monday morning!
The metro made traffic conditions difficult.
If this is not a record, it is a significant accumulation, listed by Sytadin, the site of the Direction of the roads of the region.
The whole region, with the exception of Essonne, placed on yellow alert for snow and ice by Météo France.
Snowflakes even fell on Paris in the early morning.
This partly explains the difficulties encountered by users.
First #snowflakes (wet 😂) of the season at 09:15 this morning in #Paris (but especially outside and on the sets).
