Overview
- Orange vigilance was lifted nationwide by late Sunday morning after brief overnight alerts that reached 14 departments, with the final orange alerts in Puy-de-Dôme and Cantal downgraded at 10:00.
- Light, uneven accumulations were observed across the affected belt, generally 1–5 cm, including about 1 cm in Limoges and 3 cm in Égletons, with the Paris region seeing its first snow of the season.
- Authorities activated Plan neige niveau 2 in Île-de-France with a 20 km/h speed reduction and a ban on heavy-vehicle overtaking, while roughly 7,500 road agents were mobilized.
- Transport impacts were localized, with reported delays linked to low visibility and de-icing at Roissy and Orly, some RER slowdowns, and road accidents including four injuries in the Oise.
- Météo-France notes a rapid redoux moving in from the west, with a residual risk of isolated freezing rain near the German border that does not warrant renewed orange alerts.
