We woke up to snow this morning. Here is my balcony.
My poor daffodils are covered. I hope they are tough.
Ponte a Serraglio looks wonderful!
My car isn’t going anywhere right now.
The magnolia flowers are covered with snow.
Mimosa is weighed down with snow.
Of course I had to go for a walk in the snow. I wasn’t the only one.
I hitched a ride to the top near Bagni Caldi and walked down. The roads are all white with snow.
It is amazing how pretty everything looks with a white coat.
The last time I was here for deep snow was February 2013.
It is 15 years ago today that we first came to Bagni di Lucca and decided to buy here…an excellent decision.
Pisa airport closed because of the snow…we are now overnighting in Munich….tomorrow lucca withnfingers crossed

This looks so dreamy and cozy, I feel like I can only say that because I am sitting indoors with climate control… but I wouldn’t mind sipping a hot cup of chai tea latte and enjoy this view.

Oh that looks so beautiful! Don’t you love the quality of light and muted sound when there is deep snow cover. I hope you had a lovely, happy birthday, Deb. Ponte Seraglio was beautifully gift wrapped for you.

What a winter wonderland. Love your balcony photo and the trees laden with fresh snow. Always a picturesque village but that is just beautiful. 15 years I remember it well.

I hope not to bother you but you answered one question and now I have another. We will be staying in Bagno di Lucca for three months. Do you have any suggestions for leasing a car. We are looking at car rentals for that time and it will cost us over $3300US. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

You could try leasing a French car for 3 months. I have heard that is good.

Italy gets lots of snow. There are mountains running right through the middle of Italy with alps in the north.

Most people think Italy is hot and sunny, but the winter can be quite cold, particularly in the north.
