We have had mixed weather recently, rain, sun and now snow. I woke up yesterday to lightly falling snow. I could see it from my balcony.
I bought a gorgeous table in Arezzo on the weekend and it needed to be delivered to Casa Debbio, so we loaded up the truck and headed off, despite the inclement weather. The higher we went into the mountains, the more snow there was.
Vergemoli looks gorgeous with its covering of snow.
The road to Casa Debbio was covered with about 20cm of snow. The truck was never going to get all the way to the house, so we unloaded the table top and left it beside the fence and carried the rest to the house. The garden Casa Debbio is snow covered.
My poor flowers are covered with snow. I hope they will be OK.
The snowy view is lovely.
The weeping cherry is wearing a little hat.
Mist started to roll in as we left.
Primulas along the road seem to be surviving.
The tracks in the road behind us won’t be there for long.
The snow will soon be gone…I’m hoping the garden will bounce back quickly.
Those plants are winter hard….they will bounce back…..but where is the table

We carried the legs and the bench up to the house, but the top was too heavy. We will go back when the snow melts.

It doesn’t snow often at Casa Debbio, but it is very beautiful when it does.

We have been getting some cold weather and snow at this late stage almost throughout Europe. Crazy weather! But the photos look very nice. And they say that some snow is beneficial for the garden.
How is the table?

The table is still in its wrapping. It will be fine.

Casa Debbio looks so lovely with it’s white covering. Glad you were able to drive in and deliver the table. Looking forward to seeing it all set up.

And here I was thinking it’s almost time to swap out my winter tyres…..you just never know what March can bring. Lovely photos.

I think winter tyres legally have to on until sometime in April. March snow is not all that unusual.

Debra, it is so beautiful in the snow! I love the picture with the heavy clouds. Here on Minnesota it has been 70 degrees F which is unheard of in March as it is generally our snowiest month.
I feel like I know your little town after all the years following your blog. Thank you for that gift! 😊

It is incredible that the plants survive. There are pansies under the snow lid on that pot.

How perfect! To me it would seem like heaven to be snowed in and mist shrouded.

It all looks so beautiful, Debra. I never imagine Italy covered in snow, as I’ve only seen it in summer and autumn. 🙂

Casa Debbio is 630 metres above sea level in the Apuan Alps, so it gets snow occasionally.

I thought you don’t like snow, and you had chosen Italy to escape it.

I am Australian, from Brisbane where it never snows. I dislike hot weather and travel to avoid it.

In any case, Italia is a good choice.

[…] had one snowfall in late winter and the road to Casa Debbio was a bit difficult to navigate, but it does look pretty with its snow […]
