The weather service stated that it is “a classic snowy episode for the season, but requiring particular vigilance as it can make traffic conditions difficult”.
“The risk of ice is an aggravating factor.”
Some 5,000 homes are without electricity in Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin due to snowfall, FranceInfo reported this morning.
