Snow in Rome. Neve a Roma

One week ago it snowed in Rome. Just enough to shut down the city. And just yesterday it warmed up enough to melt it away finally. There are no snow blowers or rock salt/gravel trucks here. Instead, the mayor has put 2 36-hour restrictions on driving. No driving unless you have chains on your tires... the problem is that chains for your car tires are not a commonly sold item here. Ah Roma...

I asked for a shuttle to go to the airport Monday early morning.. but they cannot confirm until Sunday because we are not sure what the weather will hold.

Then tonight it started snowing again.  I have read that not since the record setting snowfall of February 11, 1986, has there been the 20 centimeters of snow accumulation that happened last week. We shall see what this snowfall that began this evening will result in. And we shall see if I can get to the airport.

As it is, I have been at home sick all week anyway...
