Snowing Snowballs

I was recently reminded that I haven't put up photos of Bologna in a dog's age. Here's one that doesn't really demonstrate much about the city itself (there's only one canal) but it's one of my favorite spots.


This morning there was lots of snow in Bologna - which is supposed to happen once every few years, and instead has happened more than three times so far this winter.


This was particularly bizarre because instead of falling in flakes, the snow was coming out of the sky in big clumps.
Here are some of the melting non-snowflakes on the terrace. If only this place weren't so wet, they might've actually stuck.


Otherwise I'm still trying to get over jetlag, battling various illnesses, looking for a new roommate, and translating like a maniac. If anyone knows how to get mold off the walls, let me know. It's really that damp here.

And it's gray, as you can tell from all of these photos (including my own).
