Weather

I just heard that it snowed in Rome, hard enough to stop some twenty flights from Fiumicino airport. This is astonishing. Rome has the mildest climate in the whole country, and a heavy snowfall is more unlikely there than in much of Sicily. This shows what an astonishing weather event we are actually having.

Bear in mind, I said a "heavy" snowfall. It can snow in Rome, and it can freeze, but a snowfall heavy enough to impede transport is rare.
