I have not seen such a sudden and big snow in Italy for long time even if my hometown is located in the northern part. It seems I had to come here in Mokpo in order to see a good white blanket.
Mokpo has more or less the same latitude as Palermo in Sicily Italy, but the weather conditions ar very different in winter time.
