Spent 2 days in Garda Lake for a wedding.. full time in the fog..

but the church was a little elevated.. perfect sunset..

Now back home...stars a +2,3

December 9, 2016

+6,1 °C , photocopy sunny days... lowest just a little under 0° e highest close to 9°C

A lot of fog in the deep plains of central north Italy

This morning new earthquake of 4.0 location Emilia, a second isolated shake after 2 weeks..

Nothing more to report, very quiet weather now.. just looking at the "spaghetti" for my area , looks like winter is arriving since next half week

Great Official Opening Of the Italian ski season , this year at Courmayeur - Monte Bianco with fireworks and party. Just need more snow... and choose location ski resort..

December 6, 2016

Today a lot of rains for South Italy area and especially in Sicily.

Acireale area is close to get 200 mm daily of rain..

Those areas , usually dry or very dry, get easy shock with those amount of daily rain, there the land is not able to absorb all this water and the local rivers and streams, called fiumara ( often totaly dry for most of the year ) this time were not able to keep the water in the "main river street" ( we say bed of river but i do not know if in English it works same as in Italy).

So some flooding are reported in Acireale and Augusta

December 6, 2016

Frozen morning and sunny days..

Nice sunset.. +3,8°C

December 2, 2016

December 1, 2016

Day dominated by the Fohn Wind... it is the warm wind katabatic from the mountain , this bring low your % , low dew point and a rise of the temperature..

those graphic show well how it works strong in the mountain\hill area , and disappear in the low plains

Anyway dry clear sky ... on ours west side...

so clear sky that in the afternoon far far away near Pavia \ Alessandria planis area was visible a high black cloudy very unusual.. few hours later i get my answer from the news..

November 30, 2016

Cold morning today... clear sky shot low Temperature down especially in the plains of the region

sunny day now.. nothing more to report..

Well, there was a new shake of the land this morning in Emilia, far away from the shake of a month ago, but this area got same situation 4 years ago... 3,7 magnitude.. with the hope

it's just a alone episode and not a new wake up of that earthquake zone

Morning

Is this where you live or your local ski slope.

that's just one of the 2 local sky area, actually in my province we do not have villages over 1000 meters here.., most are between 400 meters as the main city and 800 meters altitude..

The reason is because of the heavy yearly precipitations averages in the over 1000 meters area, that means ,especially in the past, winter time isolation and landslide risk for the others season, so no villages over it...

November 29, 2016

6 mm in the night..not su much..and now partly cloudy..

cold.. -7 at 1500 meters altitude..

snow cannon working hard..

November 28, 2016

Here we are... it start raining.. with strong wind from E

Temperature is fast dropping down..

there are -2 at 1500 meters.. and some snow is report at 800 meters altitude..

November 28, 2016

+9,9 °C partly cloudy evening.

In the time i'm writing, Italy is next to getting his 1° winter east shot of the season., cold continental air in the Balkans is ready for flow over my country through le Porte Dinariche ( or called Porte della Bora ), Dalmatia door..,

it well showed by the map of 10 meters of tomorrow winds where door are located,

City of Trieste, far east of Italy is focus city for today, there Bora wind will tell us when, and how we must be ready for some cold.

This air is cold and very dry..., but crossing the Adriatic sea , Venezia lagoon , foggy humid Padana plain( we call it ours local Lakes effect ) this air will rise her your %, and sometimes for central Italy, and west north Italy , thanks the help of ours natural wall of Alps ( stop effect ), this cold less humid air can generate some unpredictable snow-rain episode here on the feat of the Alps..( kind of local little little blizzard )

forecast give this possibility for next hours, but is something really unpredictable

90% of the times is just cold air, but a 10% are precipitations connected.

Will see, what and where it will happen...bye

Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome.. ,

Sometimes local people try those adventures out of regular season...ehheh.

I went there once , in July of many years ago... Actually that location is open for everyone with a minimal experience with climber and roped party.

Consider first structure was built in 1892 , here in my main city there is the original pic below of those days..

actually it looks like this

there is a weather station there with wind and temperature recorded, but is actually off line

this is me there with few friends years ago..

the highest eurpean refuge frozen.. after days of snow, winds and...

November 26, 2016

welcome back sun

November 25, 2016

Is close to finish rain soon, just last leftover,

my area get a maximal of 600 mm total in mountains places , and nearest main big city in the plains got 280 mm total, that show how Alps works as a wall...

Rivers situation in my region are now better in the mountain\ hills area, more worse for the plains.. where the tide is bringing is high wave now..

red location on Tanaro and Po river in the map show a flooding situation.. ( but 90% are farm land )

Torino : Po river tide VS boats

Keep raining with +9,1 °C

Today we rise between 160 mm and 250 mm since the begin of the precipitations in my area.
