The seasons move on and the inhabitants of the city were greeted this morning with an example of the change on the way as the mountains surrounding Barga were all decked out with a fairly decent overnight sprinkling of snow.
Older residents remarked that if the snow falls this early in the year, then generally it does not last for the whole season. Ski enthusiasts also remembered that this is often true but the seasons have been so strange this year with a bitterly cold late spring which damaged many of the already growing vegetable and fruit crops and abnormal high temperatures during the summer, so anything is possible … are we in for a long and severe winter ?
