What's going on with the weather?!

Andy's mum has been staying with us for the last week and we have had some fantastic weather. On Friday and Saturday last week we were out and about sightseeing in T-shirts and relaxing in the sunshine outside cafes at lunchtime as the temperature reached at least 20 degrees. But yesterday morning we awoke to a covering of snow and sub zero temperatures! It is the first snow we have seen this winter and was great to see if not a little unexpected. We went up to the castle at Prunetto where it was clear none of the Italians had been mad enough to venture as the blanket of snow was untouched. Fortunately the snow disappeared as quickly as it arrived as we had to take Andy's mum back to the airport in Torino this morning.
