Snow!

On Monday morning, December 29, we woke to a (very) light dusting of snow! I got a few pictures of it before it melted by midday.



We are in the Po River Valley here, so we don't get a lot of snow. Mostly, we get fog and rain, though we have been blessed to be without rain for the last week or so. And, to a girl from Georgia, ANY snow is exciting!

Compare this to the snow I saw while in Chicago a few weeks ago:


It has been cold here, though. Last week, our neighbors, who have been very kind to us, were gone to Paris to visit family for the holiday. Their cat got lonely and cold and decided to ask to come in our house to warm up! Hamlet was not receptive to the idea.
