The first snowy episode of winter continues in Côte-d’Or. Like this Saturday, flakes sprinkled some parts on the heights of the department, with 2 to 3 centimeters of snow read for example at Saint-Seine-l’Abbaye north-west of Dijon, on the RD971 towards Darois.

Snow-covered roads in the north-west and south of the department

Salting and snow removal operations were thus carried out on most of the departmental roads in the north-west of the Côte d’Or. Were concerned: the sectors of Auxois, of Saint-Seine-l’Abbaye, from Sombernon.
