The Great Snowfall Debate: How Thick Is Your Snow in Lorraine?
Ah, snow! A beautifully deceptive blanket that transforms the mundane into a winter wonderland—or a treacherous ice-skating rink if you parked your car in the wrong spot. This Thursday, the charming southern Lorraine region is echoing the age-old debate: “How thick is your snow?” It’s practically the new Tinder profile question! “I like long walks in the snow, deep discussions on snowflake density, and judging how your snow measures up against mine.”
Météo France has advised everyone to take cover under an orange vigilance alert, and if the Vosges department doesn’t scream “winter sports”, I don’t know what does! The snow has indeed arrived in style—thick enough for snowmen, snowball fights, and, as every seasoned parent knows, a chance for the kids to face-plant into fluffy piles with zero consequences. And speaking of snow, it seems the good folk in Meurthe-et-Moselle—that’s right, the region of Nancy and beyond—are taking snow appreciation to new heights! Places like Nancy-Brabois, Villers-Clairlieu, and Laxou are practically rolling in it. And if you can’t build a snowman in Laxou, are you even trying?
Celebrate (and Photograph) the Fluff!
France Bleu Sud Lorraine listeners have been busy capturing the magic of this winter wonderland. They’ve shared a delightful montage of snow-laden landscapes, ranging from Pascal’s picturesque garden in Mirecourt to Angie’s cozy terrace in Grandrupt-de-Bains—where you can just imagine her yelling, “Snow, snow, snow! Look what my shoveling skills have wrought!”
And let’s not forget about Gérardmer, decked out in its classy winter coat. The photos the Gérardmer Tourist Office have shared could make a snowman weep with jealousy. Who knew a snowy town could ooze so much charm? One look at those pictures, and you’re already booking your one-way ticket to make snow angels.
Time to Hit the Slopes!
Winter lovers, rejoice! Some intrepid snow adventurers will soon be strapping on skis at the Bresse-Hohneck resort! Grab your ski poles and get ready for downhill action—just remember, nothing says “winter Olympic champion” like a dramatic face-plant on your first run. And when your ego is sufficiently bruised, head straight to Vittel for some rejuvenating thermal baths under the snow. Because nothing quite heals the soul like a steaming soak while watching the snowflakes dance around your head like tiny ballerinas.
Conclusion: Snow Much Fun!
As snow continues to enchant the southern Lorraine, the debate over measurement will undoubtedly endure. Three, five, ten centimeters—you might as well throw a ruler at it and see what sticks! So whether you’re critiquing the perfect snowman (why is the carrot always crooked?), or trying to figure out why none of your snowballs are perfectly spherical, embrace the season with all its quirks. After all, in a village where everyone’s a snow enthusiast, the laughter is bound to be as deep as the snow itself!
And let’s be honest, if you can’t measure snow correctly, you might as well measure the fun it brings—because that’s what the season is truly about.

This Thursday, residents of southern Lorraine are playfully measuring the thickness of the snowfall in their own ways, with estimates ranging from 3 to 10 cm. The predicted snow, confirmed by Météo France, has led to the Vosges department being placed under a level orange vigilance. As the winter wonderland unfolds, families are already delighting in building snowmen and engaging in exciting snowball fights. This wintery spectacle extends beyond the Vosges, with snowfall also evident in Meurthe-et-Moselle, particularly in elevated areas such as Nancy-Brabois, Villers-Clairlieu, and Laxou.

Meanwhile, Pauline in Val d’Ajol and Angie in Grandrupt-de-Bains are also enjoying the winter festivities. Even Jean-Marc in Ludres is undeterred by the cold as he embraces the snowy backdrop, while Eve Lyne in Châtel has a whimsical snow stork gracing her property.
The charming town of Gérardmer also transformed into a winter paradise, as evidenced by captivating photos shared on the Facebook page of the Gérardmer Tourist Office. Ski enthusiasts are gearing up for an exhilarating season, with the Bresse-Hohneck resort eagerly awaiting their arrival.
