inverno in Monterenzio




Winter in Monterenzio has mostly been mostly cloudy, rainy, and all-around humid. I would say most days the temperature has been in the 40’s and we’ve only had frost maybe twice. However, what they say about heat (it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity) goes double for the cold. It is the kind of cold that gets under your down coat and wool sweater and just won’t let you shake that chill. We all look forward to the sunny days, it’s like a metaphoric cloud has been lifted right along with the real ones as far as our moods are concerned. The fog/clouds are very personal and animated here- they wander right through the orto (garden) or they come and sit on our house for half a day. Once last week the clouds were so low that in the valley it was dark and foggy and up at our house it was clear blue sky.
