I need to add here this warning I received in my Florentine email account. It fits so well with my previous entries about my problems with the slippery streets in Helsinki. Why didn't anybody warn me about these things in Finland???
SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
Weather forecasts for the next 24 hours report heavy snow falling all over the region of Tuscany, including Florence, and very low temperatures (as low as -10° C), so we recommend:
your utmost attention when walking on slippery and/or icy ground;
driving your car only if equipped with winter tyres or snow chains (as requested by the local authorities);
using the telephone number set up by the Comune di Firenze (Public Safety Service) in case of emergency
The Institute will salt all access roads (both for vehicles and pedestrians) and pavements.
In general, we recommend the utmost caution when driving or walking.
