Images of Rome Covered in Rare Blanket of Thick Snow
Eternal City almost brought to a standstill this morning as the first snowfall covered the city in six years.
St. Peter’s Square came alive this morning with snowball fights among seminarians of the North American College, children sledging and even some skiing as Rome was covered in a rare, thick blanket of snow.
Unaccustomed to snow which last fell here in 2012, 2010 and 1986, the Eternal City was brought to a virtual standstill with many bus lines suspended due to inaccessible roads and the closure of archaeological sites such as the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Schools in the city were also closed.
Temperatures are expected to drop well below freezing tonight, going down to 23°F, as the unusual very chilly weather sets in for much of the week.

Though Rome is a lot farther north than Atlanta---Rome is about the same latitude (or is it longitude) as Hartford and the New York city area---its temp average is similar to Atlanta---just not this week. Atlanta was near 80 last week though temps have cooled down to more seasonal levels---no 23 in the forecast!!!
Any comments from Al Gore on the global cooling in Rome?
Al Gore:
Hot outside? Global Warming!
Cold outside? Global Warming!
Mind Closed like a Trap? Global Warming!
Hey fake catholics who post here, read this about your party:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/27596/democrats-kick-out-their-last-pro-life-congressman-paul-bois#
The Dems are trying to remove the last pro-life Congressman from their ranks. Why Pelosi and her gang of fake catholics haven't been excommunicated is beyond belief. Maybe if the USCCB wasn't consumed with trying to protect illegal aliens invading the US, they might return to defending Catholic teaching rather than paying lip service to it. Words without action are meaningless. If I based my staying in the Faith because of these bishops, I would definitely leave. They are beneath contempt
I note that Kavanaugh has not responded that his intrinsically evil Party, the Democratic Party, is targeting a pro-life Democrat and a Democrat who is anti-gay marriage. Shoots your theory that the Democratic Party is "inclusive" and friendly to religious people. LOL
