Rome has not experienced snow in 25 years. We had some flurries in the early morning then late morning it really started falling. For about an hour, the Romans didnt know how to react. The shop keepers came out of their shops and took pictures with their cell phones. The umbrella salesmen who try to force sales on you in rain were having a blast. A woman even improvised and squeegied snow from her sidewalk in front of her store. Everyone came outside to take a look. As I walked down the street to the metro on my way to Vatican City, everyone I made eye contact with burst into a smile or even laughter becuase they just didn't know what to think of this event.
Probably one of my favorite days so far :-)
