It’s been a wintry week in the French capital with not one but two snowstorms inside a matter of days.

The first system dropped 4.7 inches at the official Paris weather station Montsouris. This was the biggest snowfall since 8 December 2010 which also saw 4.7″. The last time Paris received a bigger accumulation than 2010 and 2018 was 1987.

Then a 2nd snow system just two days later last week dropped an additional 1 inch of snow on Paris adding to cover already on the ground.
