There may not be much snow left around the shores of the Lago di Bolsena in Marta, but just look at these photos of the ice taken in town this morning!
They look so much more impressive individually so if you are interested in viewing the rest of the ice photos in a larger format they can be found on Flickr.com in My Album Ghiaccio - Ice in Marta

This is a series which I participate in from time to time and I have done so with this post. Welcome to News From Italy to anyone who has called by from Mosaic Monday at Little Red House and of course all my supportive readers who call by and leave comments both here and on my other blogs.
More photos and videos of the cold weather in Italy can also be found in the previous posts The Big Freeze in Lazio, Neve – Snow and the News From Italy Facebook Page
There are days when I have difficulty maintaining my balance on those streets when they are dry and clean.....can't imagine trying to actually walk on those icy paths....but the images are glorious!!! grazie!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so lovely! With that cold weather you will certainly have done a lot of catching up on your blogs.
ReplyDeleteWe have not been out except me to feed the birds and go to the post box. Our neighbour has offered to do some shopping for us as he has a friend picking him up in a 4x 4 this p.m. No gritted roads in the country!
ReplyDeleteThe ice looks beautiful there, but of course we have no water around here for me to see. Only the birdbath which is freezing over faster than I can unfreeze it!
Lovely photos. Diane
Very cool (literally)! I hope those kittys keep warm.
ReplyDeletewhat a frozen wonderland!
ReplyDeletemakes bitterly cold look fresh and beautiful:)
thanks for the lovely share,
Jennifer
Those photos are stunning, really. I looked at it several time, and keeping this open to look through it again later today. Wow! How amazing the mother nature is. I will also go to flicr to check your album. Thank you for leaving a lovely comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos and mosaics, they are really showing how beautiful it can be in the winters (sometimes). Have a fine week.
ReplyDeleteLindy... nature never fails to astonish me: look at the incredible beauty of those icicles! Just fantastic! The ice will melt very quickly, don't worry, Lindy... Spring is just round the corner, where you are...
ReplyDeleteKeep warm and dry...

Hi Lindy - thank you for visiting my little blog project and leaving a comment - each on is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful! Is this a usual occurrence or are you facing a horrible winter in Italy like most of Europe?
Great photographs. I was watching the Italian TV at my Italian neighbours today and I saw how bad the weather has been. We can all just look forward for Spring................ :-) Jackie in Surrey UK.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, I love those beautiful frames capturing the beauty of the frost. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are very good. Your winter is a lot worse than ours so far. It has been unseasonably warm here in central Kentucky. We love the warmer weather but it is strange.

Hello Linda, oh my, my breath was taken away with these photographs, they are so dramatic! You are getting it cold, you are just right to stay by the fire!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your kind comments and visit. Have a great week and keep warm! Love Linda x
How amazing is that? I understand that you don't usually have such cold, harsh weather. Your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks so cold but it's so beautiful and interesting to see. The town goes well the ice.
ReplyDeleteWow love the photos impressive is an understatement I see on telly at night about all the bad weather over in you part of the world and have to say I am glad that I am not there although we are not haveing a great summer here many days feel more like winter then summer.......
ReplyDeleteBrrr, looks so cold but so beautiful. When sun hits the ice it's magical.
ReplyDeletedo you know I don't ever associate snow with Italy - I always think of it as a hot country - except maybe snow in the mountains. Your post is a revelation!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy - hope all is going well with you. Back from your travels. Thanks for stopping by to say hi on my blog and Flickr! Looking forward to seeing your holiday pics!
Have a wonderful week.
Your pictures of the ice are beautiful. If we ever get any cold weather, perhaps I can take some pictures like these.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, these pictures are incredible!! Such dangerous beauty. I'm so glad you're safe and sound and that you braved the weather to capture these. SO gorgeous. :-)
ReplyDeleteSpectacular shots of the those ice sculptures!
ReplyDeleteMake sure you don't slip though, the street looks very slippery!
Great photos Linda.

Oh that looks exquisitely cold. I had no idea that it got that cold in your corner. There's just something wrong about seeing all that ice on an Italian street.

Warm hug and tanti baci
Ciao
