As expected, the snow made its arrival in the plains this weekend.
All the mountain ranges of the country are affected by the chain of winter disturbances.
But for the first time in the cold season, snowflakes reach the plains and can temporarily stick to the ground.
Météo France also places a very large part of the territory in yellow vigilance (level 2 out of 4) for snow and ice.
Only the west and the edges of the Mediterranean are spared.
But in Brittany and along the Channel coasts, winter conditions result in a strong wind, depriving several thousand homes of electricity, as reported by France Bleu.

For Sunday, Météo France estimates that it will be the New Aquitaine, Occitanie and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions that will be the most exposed to snow and ice.
In Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, these are the mountainous regions that will be affected.

As for the accumulations of snow caused by the succession of disturbances this Saturday and Sunday, here are the forecasts of the meteorological organization.

This Saturday morning, snow showers covered part of the ground in the Grand Est region.
Watch out for #snowfall in the Grand-Est this morning, at very low altitude.

The flakes also reached the departments of Orne, in the West, and Somme, in the North.
Same landscape when you wake up in Forceville in the Somme. # Snow

The Oise and, further north, the Lille region were also concerned.
❄️8h25: showers of #snow are frequent in the west of the # oise and the soils are well bleached as here in Sainte Geneviève with a barely positive temperature.

From 6 a.m., the soils also started to whiten in some parts of Ile-de-France as shown in this radar animation provided by The Weather Channel and where the snow appears in pink.
The radar animation of the precipitation highlights the #neige (pink color) which mixes with the rain north of #Paris, without sticking to the ground due to weakly positive temperatures.
Only the highest plateaus can temporarily whitewash.

When arriving in Seine-et-Marne, the snowfall became more massive throughout the department.
❄️ #snow is also present in #IledeFrance.
Sometimes strong intensities this morning around #Melun.

10:15 am: ❄️🟡 #snow follow-up
The pluvio-snow front evacuates towards the East and the South of the #seineetmarne and the soils whiten like here in Rebais (77) under the strongest intensities thanks to cold temperatures of 0 / +1 degree.
