It also snows in Rome, Italy

It doesn’t happen very often, actually it’s very rare that it snows here in Rome, Italy.  The forecast did expect it to happen but I think it took everyone by surprise as it snowed a lot. Not surprisingly, there was traffic everywhere and city basically came to a halt.  People were mainly taking public transportation making them super packed.

Some people were actually crazy enough to go out with their mopeds.  It was of course impossible to maneuver but I guess once you are caught in the snow you really have no other option. (picture on the left)

School children were let out of their classrooms so they could have snowball fights.  By the afternoon, it all cleared up and there were no traces that it had snowed that morning.  The sun was out and the city resumed it’s normal activity.  Many children and adults alike enjoyed the few hours of snow that we had.  It was a different sight of the city and it look liked a Winter Wonderland – if you were not caught in the mess.   Here are a few photos we took to prove that it did snow it Rome, Italy!
