Friday Photo - After The Ice More Snow! – Dopo il Ghiaccio Ancora Neve

This was the scene that greeted us at 7am, around two inches deep and it has been snowing ever since!

Not much snow compared to some other areas of Italy but the snow is measuring 7" at the moment. Our gas tank is down to 10% ordered Monday and promised within 48hrs, somehow do not think it will delivered any time soon. Also no Sky TV since Monday as Tramontana (the strong northerly winds) damaged the dish!! What fun this is!

Stay warm everyone or cool if it is your summer and have a great weekend where ever you are.

With thanks to  http://www.free-clipart-pictures.net/ for the snowflake clip art image.

  1. This weather is not much fun is it! We still have our satellite dish thankfully. We are watching our tank carefully, I think we should be OK until we get to a warmer spell, hope so anyway as no trucks will get to us at the moment. No rubbish collected this week, but it is too cold for it to smell so no problems there! Keep warm Diane

  2. You are definitely having it worse than us. Our roads are clear, I have been to Guildford this morning.Do you rely on gas for your heating and cooking? Will you have to eat out more?

    Hope you get it sorted out soon and that you have a good weekend, Jackie in Surrey, UK.x

  3. Wow - I cannot imagine 7" of snow right now. Still nothing here in VA, but I don't want any now until my grandson is born. I have to be able to get to the hospital, right? Stay warm.

  4. That is such a beautiful scenery to wake up in the morning to! I hope your gas tank will come soon. As we don't watch TV, I don't know how to comment on that. Stay warm and enjoy the beauty...

  8. We lost reception from our dish for a bit with the snow--the wind blew right at it and the snow stuck. Next day it slid off.

  10. Being cold is not much fun but at least the snow looks prettier than grey, wet Cheshire. Keep warm.

  11. I've been looking at your pics and videos of snow in Rome and it really seems unbelievable. Here in Canada we are used to snow, tons of it, but to see it covering Piazza Navona or the Colosseum is strange. Hope you have enough heat. Right now the weather is the same here at -1 as it is there in Italy, but we have loads of heat and are equipped to deal with cold weather. Actually, we are experiencing a mild winter. I worry for you and all my relatives in Italy.

  12. I look at that picture and I think of a pot of soup on the stove, warm fleece clothing and a mug of hot chocolate. Brrrr but so beautiful!

  13. I hope you're able to cope alright with this weather. It's a much different experience for an area not used to such conditions.

  17. Hang in there! You must be getting all of our snow, unusual for us to not have snow this year, we are enjoying it! Zero degrees here though. Hope your fuel truck comes soon, get out the quilts!

  18. Keep warm. Snow isn't much fun unless the whole country is geared up for it...

  21. This time of the year is the coldest. But in Japan according to the old calaender, spring started on February 4th. I am shivering in the cold. Still no snow yet. I hope your gas tank will be full now and stay warm. Your header is especially stunning!

  24. I'm listening to my grandparents' loud TV in the background, a furious debate about Rome snowed in!
    Last night it snowed, 10 cm, but thanks to a pale sunshine it's melting down! Yay!
    Take care!
