The Weather Channel is forecasting this Thursday a plunge of polar air, combined with a warmer, humid air mass coming from the south, which could lead to snowy showers. Temperatures are expected to drop significantly mid-week, increasing the chances of seeing snowflakes in the northern skies. However, several complex variables are in play:
- Ground and air temperature: just one or two degrees can make the difference between rain and snow.
- The precise location of the depression: its positioning determines where snowy precipitation is most likely to occur.
For now, weather models are having a tough time agreeing: forecasts range from a light dusting in some areas to heavier showers in others.

What’s certain is that a disrupted and chilly spell is expected throughout the northern half of the country. The chance of snow is increasing in the eastern areas, but nothing's set in stone yet for Lille and its surroundings. Snow could fall, but its sticking to the ground remains uncertain, as the ground may not be cold enough despite the recent morning frosts.
Are we already dreaming of snowball fights? Or should we just brace ourselves for a little winter chill? The suspense is thrilling, and we’ll have to wait a few more hours before the potential snowfall arrives to get a clearer picture.
