After a long lasting drought period, bad weather finally reached Italy bringing rain all over the north and also the first snowfall of the season on the territory of the Unione Montana Comuni Olimpici (Consortium of Olympic Municipalities). Sunday November 5th, at noon, about 15 centimetres snow were recorded in Sestriere at about 1,800 meter altitude.
Overnight the autumn warm colours of the landscape turned to snow white. According to the weather forecasts, in the next few days more snowfalls are still possible also at lower altitudes, given the temperature decreasing trend, in line with the average weather in November.
