Dans les départements placés en vigilance orange, des cumuls de neige sont prévus de l’ordre de 5 à 10 cm en plaine et localement jusqu’à 15 cm. L’est de la Moselle et de la Meurthe-et-Moselle, le nord du Bas-Rhin ainsi que l’est du Doubs et du Jura seront les secteurs les plus concernés par les chutes de neige. Sur le reste des départements en Orange, les cumuls seront beaucoup plus disparates mais pourront atteindre également localement 10 à 15cm. Ces chutes de neige concerneront également les autres départements du Nord-Est de la France mais avec des quantités plus faibles. Les chutes de neige les plus abondantes cessent progressivement dans la nuit sur les départements placés en vigilance orange, d’abord sur les départements les plus nord, puis plus au sud.

In the departments mentioned the accumulations of snow are expected to be in the order of 5 to 10 cms overall and locally up to 15 cms. East of the Moselle and of Meurthe-et-Moselle, nord du Bas-Rhin, Doubs and the Jura are expected to have the heaviest falls. The other departments mentioned are expected to be more spread out but could reach 5 to 10 cms locally. Other departments in the NE are expected to be also affected but to a less extent. The heavier falls will progressively lessen during the night in the orange alert departments, initially the northern most, then towards the south.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
