There will have been no white Christmas. But the snow finally covered with its alabaster mantle the towns and countryside of Champagne-Ardenne. In general, the first snowflakes fell on Saturday January 16, 2021, around 2 p.m. In the Ardennes, it was a bit earlier.
Alsace was one of the first regions to be covered with a layer of powder, ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters depending on the altitude. There were fewer from the Ardennes to the Aube, passing through the two departments of the Marne. But there were still quite a few, as evidenced by the many photographs taken by Internet users of France 3 Champagne-Ardenne, relayed below.
