Romans woke to a rare snowfall on Monday Feb 26,2018, after an Arctic storm
passing over much of Europe dumped enough snow to force schools to close
and public transport to reduce services.
Rome’s Mediterranean
climate and proximity to the sea usually result in mild winters, such
that restaurants often keep outdoor seating open even through the
coldest months of the year.
As a result, the Monday morning Feb 26,2018 snowfall,
though not huge in quantity, brought excited young Romans out for a rare
snowball fight or walk in the slush.
Mayor Virginia Raggi signed an ordinance Sunday evening Feb 25,2018 closing public
schools as a precaution, and many private ones followed suit
