From the sublime to the ridiculous. The weather is now typically English, grey, rain, sleet, hail.. large macho Neapolitan men look out from shop windows oohing and aahing over the sleet declaring it to be snow and 'like goose feathers'.
To cap it all the papers are now leading with articles such as, 'traffic nightmare', 'a bit of snow and the whole place grinds to a halt', demands for streetworks to be coordinated to prevent endless holes in the roads, and discussions about water privatisation. It's just like a wet copy of the Evening Standard on a winter's afternoon in London. At least here winter only last a couple of weeks.
However, Vesuvius does look rather pretty with a snow cap.
