5:30 p.m.: some problems contacting the emergency services, but the situation is restored.
The 112 and 18 had some problems for about fifteen minutes this afternoon, but the situation has returned to normal. “There is no load shedding, if you have a problem reaching us, you have to hang up and call back right away,” warns the Departmental Fire and Rescue Operational Center (Codis).
The Saône-et-Loire was placed by Météo France on orange alert for snow and ice. This winter offensive could cause traffic problems this Wednesday morning in the south of the department.
From 3:00 a.m. this Wednesday, January 18, 2023 and throughout the morning, a snowy reactivation will approach the south of Saône-et-Loire. These snowfalls will bring a layer of 2 to 5 cm, very locally 10 cm towards Charolais, Brionnais and Clunisois, according to the Civil Security and Defense Office of Saône-et-Loire.
This disturbance is followed by a risk of widespread freezing on Wednesday morning.
Temperatures will generally be between 0°C and 2°C on the plain, but under a more marked snow shower, the temperature will drop to around 0°C.
So be very careful if you have to take your vehicle this Wednesday morning in these areas.
