"In the mountain village of Capracotta, snowdrifts reached over five feet, burying streets and forcing residents to dig tunnels through the snow."
"The CIMA Research Foundation reported severe snow deficits across key river basins, including the Tiber and Aterno-Pescara, with some areas seeing almost no snow at all."
Italy's Apennine Mountains experienced a significant late-season snowfall after a winter with low snowpack. Frequent storms in late March and early April, particularly from systems Deborah and Erminio, brought heavy snow to regions like Abruzzo and Emilia-Romagna. Snow accumulation exceeded five feet in some areas, leading to buried streets and halted ski operations. The Apennines, typically warmer and lower in elevation than the Alps, faced severe snow deficits earlier in the season, making this late snowfall both surprising and impactful.
