Snow!

There was a cold north wind blowing yesterday and the skys were grey. It was raining on the way to the gym, and last night, as I walked home from the Odeon after seeing the documentary "Bobby Fisher Against the World", it was snowing! Not news for Canadians, but big news here. The hills around Firenze were white this morning, and the parked cars had a light covering of white.  In the Centro, there was no accumulation on the ground but I think that will change.  Up north, Milano and Torino have lots of the fluffy white stuff and I bet the skiing is good in the Alps. Good thing I brought a warm hat. Feels a bit like home.
