She was "long awaited".
The snow is finally falling in the Alpes-Maritimes.
From the Audibergue station, the closest to the Coast, to Isola 2000, "several centimeters will accumulate in the coming hours", indicated Météo Côte d'Azur on its Facebook account.
According to Sam, who signs the social network posts, “the snowfall is continuous and falls almost everywhere above 1000-1200 m altitude.
They accumulate up to 30-50 cm of fresh snow from an altitude of 1600-1800 m”.
Beneficial rains
This disruption is accompanied by "beneficial rains" over the rest of the department throughout the day.
In total, the accumulations will reach between 20 to 40 mm on average and up to 70 mm towards Roya.
Météo Côte d'Azur emphasizes: “This is good news for our entire region in a context of increased winter drought 2021-2022.

The return of dry weather is expected overnight from Monday to Tuesday.
Temperatures will rise again quickly in the middle of the week with "valiant sunshine" for several days.
This means that "the new snowpack will therefore have difficulty resisting these new dry and spring conditions", concludes Sam.
