Record snowfall in mountains, schools closed on Wednesday – Environment

It was supposed to be snowing heavily, snowing heavily. Alto Friuli has been whitewashed, with snow reaching 250 meters above sea level, against an estimated 400.

Significant difficulties for viability. Between Villa Santina and Tolmezzo, even half a snowplow fell victim to the slippery surface, which ended in a low wall.

On the A23, trucks bound for Austria were blocked at Udine Nord as a precaution.

Soon the hundred electrical consumers that remained to connect after the storms of the weekend increased.
They are 700, but they could go up a lot at any moment. Momentary blackouts reported almost everywhere and the cell phone signal has jumped here and there, including Paularo, where the road to Ligosullo has been closed.

The accumulation of snow (which is expected to fall one meter in 24 hours) is the main threat to airlines. Civil protection has sent electric generators to the areas of greatest risk.

Vice President Riccardo Riccardi has announced the opening of a forest road for the villages isolated for days in Forni avoltri, from where Sappada cannot be reached, due to an avalanche that has invaded the road.

Sappadine schools, due to the emergency, will be closed for one day. The communication routes from Sauris and between Sella Nevea and Cave del Predil are closed. In Forni di Sopra, downstream snow transport operations with trucks are anticipated.

Too much to distribute to the sides of the road. It had been years since there was so much snow in early December.
And you prepare for a whole night of rain.
