Genoa. The flakes have fallen, and abound, as expected, but on the coast they stopped between Voltri and Savona where this morning the awakening was that of the magical white beaches. In the rest of the Ligurian capital, a pocket of humid air from the south, by contrast, caused persistent rains, even at mountainous altitudes.
On the other hand, it snows abundantly in Valpolcevera, from Bolzaneto upwards, in the upper Val Bisagno, as well as in the Stura valley. As well as, of course, high altitude. Attention is now being paid to the possible appearance of the gelicide phenomenon.
