The Tiber

For the last few days the weather in Europe has reaped havoc! My sister in Law in Frankfurt woke to a blanket of snow on Sunday and the weather has not been any better since. The rivers have been rising and the snow has been falling. Last night I woke to the sound of hail and wind. According to the forecast we will have a short reprieve and then the bad weather will return!

BAD WEATHER STOPS FOR NOW, TIBER UNDER CONTROL
(AGI) - Rome, Italy, Nov. 28th - Bad weather seems to have temporarily stopped in Italy, although another disturbance is expected. It's snowing in Liguria, even at low altitudes. Snow on the motorway A7 Genoa-Milan from Busalla and on the A26 Voltri-Santhia' northbound from Masone. The Tiber is under control: the high level will last all week, but it will be monitored by technicians that will empty the dam of Corbara. The situation in Fiumicino is improving. In Tuscany the provinces of Arezzo, Pisa and Florence have been hit. Floods in Naples, rain and hailstones in Calabria since yesterday afternoon. (AGI) -

Dad goes back to NY on Thursday. Sam and the girls are off to Frankfurt on Friday. Me, I am off Saturday on a field trip with my Sommelier course to the Barola region of Piemonte. The weather has to improve. It just has too!
