seems that Genoa has been hit by a major ice storm. And there is considerable damage.

And I hope this works but here are some photos in a gallery from the Italian Newspaper Corriere della Sera.

It is in Italian, but I am sure the photos speak for themselves.

By the way the photos are mainly from Milan, not the Genoa Ice storm.

Yes some amazing temperatures on the warm side.....as well as some very cold temperatures in the north due to persistant fog. Some of the warm temperatures are record Christmas temps, some places were the warmest in December for 80 years!

Also there are reports of some parts of Venice being underwater due to a very high tide and very strong southerly winds. The island of Burano is reporting all houses with their ground floors flooded. Also with very heavy rain about, rivers in northern Italy are showing signs of possible flooding. Also the warm temperatures are melting the snows from earlier in the week and also raising river levels!
