Re: Weather forecast
We had an honest to goodness blizzard last night! Maybe 20 or so inches of snow and some towns nearby got close to 30". There were 50 mile an hour gusts and sustained high winds all night long ( it's been blowing for days now). The Ensete tent is ripped and bent over so I assume that's dead.... what can you do? 'Tis the season.

Re: Weather forecast
I'm freezing in Munich, Germany at the moment.
My nanners in Greece stayed warm so far and no big cold is expected so far, but little freezes during nights are possible at the end of this week/beginning of next year. I hope you had all a Wonderful Christmas! |

Re: Weather forecast
Serves you right Bob...bragging about how you had no snow. Finally got what you deserved,
eh? We've had snow for weeks and I'm sick of it. It was super cold today when I was out and tonight we're sitting at -10°C...14°F with windchill. Glad I'm in for the night. : ) |

Re: Weather forecast
Today we had 2° of minimum temp so my 'nanas didn't get a "below zero" experience as expected by forecast.... I hope that the african high I saw yesterday at the edge of my country will spare us the worst I see coming from North....

Re: Weather forecast
We've also been having cold temps, especially at night in the low 20's F, and windy, with gusts yesterday of 44 mph. My palms look OK, but we all know that cold damage won't show frequently until the spring. Fingers are crossed for all of us!

Re: Weather forecast
Yeah, it's a bad winter for Rome. Even Genoa has better night temps than you. Strange.
