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.

Re: The 63 Best Pictures And Analysis Of The Big Snow In Romagna
Thankyou so much for sharing these great photos. An immense amount of snow and very cold.
I wonder if it has thawed yet, and whether it causes problems with flooding when it does.
I like the snowman and the igloo!

No, you are thawing slowly, so there are no flooding problems.
Thank you!

Amazing Interesting how the snow had fallen to sea level on the northeast coast south of about Reno but not on the southeastern side and then there's nothing when you get further up around towards Venice
