During the week of Feb. 5th, for the first time in almost 27 years, Rome was coated in a layer of snow. The irony of this was that it happened twice in the same winter. Even more ironic is the fact that it happened to be while I was there! The first time it snowed was during the weekend I spent in Switzerland, with most of Europe was plunged into a deep freeze. I only witnessed the aftermath of the first storm. Later that week however, I was able to witness the beauty of snow in Rome!

| We were some of the few who dared to venture out! |

| The Trevi Fountain with snowball decoration! |
 |
| The Tiber River was barely visible through the snow! |
