And, schools are closed in the provinces (neptune, anzio, pomezia) in anticipation of a snowstorm that my iPhone hasn't heard about yet!Irreverent Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104487411073849736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-28422932666719048052012-02-04T20:57:40.549+01:002012-02-04T20:57:40.549+01:00So strange!

Another poor friend's 20 minute commute on the GRA took 9 hours! The situation must have been drastically different in different parts of the city. <br />I'm generally not one to stick up for Italian politicians (EVER!) but I'm guessing Alemanno would have been criticized much more harshly had he NOT closed the schools, especially in light of the flooding disasters earlier this winter. This city is woefully unprepared for snow!Tiffany Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156408126574861425noreply@blogger.com
