Rome Has its First Winter Wonderland in Six Years

Rome Has its First Winter Wonderland in Six Years Rome has been hit with its first snowstorm since February 2016 thanks to "The Beast from the East," an Arctic storm setting record temperatures across Europe. On Monday, the Italian city had to close schools albeit only receiving only 3 to 4 centimeters. Transportation services were down while the nation's civil protection agency mobilized the army to clear the streets. Nonetheless, Roman residents took advantage of the opportunity to use sled, have snowball fights, and build snowmen.
