Guys, I've never seen something like this in my life, and I'd like to share, because it's quite amazing, and probably a historical event since 1985, and maybe 1956 as well.
I live near Bologna, in the centre-north of Italy, a strange city extremly hot and wet in summer and very cold in winter... In facts it uses to snow 2 or 3 times per winter, with significant measures (from 10 to 20, and sometimes 30cm), but it uses to last for a day, and snow can cover fields for a week or two, than it melts rapidly.
But this time it's something I've never seen before.
It's snowed for 48hrs from tuesday, a day of pause yesterday, and this morning it started again!!
We are at 61m above sea level, 44.4715N, it's -6°, and forecast says buran winds will bring temperature down to -15 in the next couple of days!
This is what I saw and what I'm seeing from my windows...
wednesday night
thursday morning
The river Reno, partially frozen (it was only -2°C)
Today:
The big neighbourhood table on my courtyard is slowly disappearing.
Tonight I'm gonna measure again...
Everything in the city began to be paralised, there are hundreth of km of streets to keep clean but it's almost impossible with all this snow continues to fall, ice is slowly forming, and salt can't keep streets clear below -6°C
I fear my local league will be locked untill middle of march........ snow it's not the only problem, but frozen pitch are extremely dangerous!
Plan B: I like skiing and I will realize how to enjoy anyway!
