Hi.
I’m an Italian boy.
I live in San Biagio, a little village between Forlì and Faenza (near Bologna and Rimini), in the Po valley (32 m – 1261 inch), in the North of the Italy.
From 01/31/12 to 02/14/12 there was a wave of frost and a lot of snow. In the Forlì’s province has been beaten the record of 1929.
There was also need the intervention of snowmobiles to free the city.
The drifts of snow came up to the first floor windows.
Here the total accumulation (all the follow place are in the plain):
San Biagio: 160 cm (63 inch);
Forlì: 170 cm (67 inch);
Cesena: 200 cm (79 inch);

In the hills (300 m of altitude – 11820 inch) there’re more of 300 cm (118 inch), also 400 cm (158 inch) of snow.

The temperatures were always below zero for 7 days in San Biagio and, the 02/14/12, the minimum temperature has been-19,2°c (-4°F).
Here the photos.

Wow and great pix.

ps: never need to apologize for "bad" English.  I only know how to ask for the bill, beer, and coffee in Italian.  Your English is probably better than a good portion of North Americans.  I honeymooned in Italy, could not find car rental return in Sienna.  Popped into a bar, "parli inglese"  one person responded, "non, mais je parle français"  I was able to use my high school / one year of University French enough to get my droits and gauches. and we found it no problem.  Good pre-GPS experience.

Very nice pictures, well done.

I can't remember when we did have that much snow up here.

We used to live in Minnesota.  My dad would allow us to jump out of the second floor window into snow about as deep as you got there.  Your excellent pictures brought back awesome childhood memories.  Thnak you for that!
