They say, it hasn't finished snowing. There will be other snow. Schools and public offices are closed. Fingers crossed. There's beautiful sunshine outside and it makes it more bearable. Big hug.

The highway to Rome being still closed, many people couldn't get to their working places, school and public facilities are closed. <br /> As far as we can stay warm (now we can!) and safe in hour homes, it is much better.<br />Thanks for your comment.Hugs.

Sure, we can light candles when the power is out but candles won't keep us warm.<br /><br />The one advantage as you say, is that you can rest more: no school... I am guessing the family is home as well.<br /><br />Stay safe, hope the snow stops and that life returns to a comfortable pace.Prue Battenhttp://www.mesmered.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-24980432663915161742012-02-05T18:25:20.505+01:002012-02-05T18:25:20.505+01:00I love Bologna!

All the small villages nearby. And no mobile service. <br />Fingers crossed it get better soon.<br />Thanks for your words, Jenny.<br />MGMaria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-70580546130833958002012-02-05T14:08:57.541+01:002012-02-05T14:08:57.541+01:00When I heard of snow in Rome, I thought of you Mar...When I heard of snow in Rome, I thought of you Maria Grazia. Good to know that you are safe. I hope it passes soon. In Canada we have no snow right now which is just as odd for us. The climate is very messed up right now. By the way, some salt will help melt the snow on your drive when you get close to being able to take your car out!

I am completely unable to get my car off the driveway due to the angle I have to reverse at so will have a long trek to the nearest station to get to work in the morning and will have to leave very early.<br /><br />I know the snow is beautiful, but I hope it melts soon so life can go back to normal!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
