Again !

It has been snowing in the Strasbourg region and in Alsace since Wednesday morning.

A new episode after that experienced between January 14 and 18, when the famous white powder had permanently settled.

“We measured 22 centimeters in Entzheim,” explains Christophe Mertz, one of the co-founders of Atmo-Risk, an Alsatian weather forecasting start-up.

According to him, the snow had not accumulated as much since… December 2010. That is to say a little more than ten years.

“We can say that this winter is the worst since 2010 in terms of snow episodes.

Before, we have to go back to 2005-2006, again with numerous falls from November to March, ”adds the meteorologist.

"Monitor the risk of flooding"

For this year, it does not yet know if new episodes will be rife.

Not in the next few days anyway.

“These are the last hours with snow.

This afternoon, a certain warmth will set in and there will be quite a few rains at the end of the week, until on the Vosges ridges where the snowpack will be attacked.

It will cool down this weekend before more rains next week.

In the next ten days, it will especially be necessary to monitor the risks of flooding.

"

In terms of temperatures, this month of January 2021 is part of a certain seasonal norm, with "4 ° C as the average of the maximum".

By way of comparison, January 2017 had been much colder, with “1.5 ° C as the average of the maximum”.

But without snow.
