A taste of Minnesota … in Rome

It doesn't happen very often, but the University of St. Thomas Bernardi Campus in Rome, Italy, got a taste of the white stuff last week.

Thanos Zyngas, director of the campus, sent these photos. They had to be quick with the camera; the snow that fell there last Friday morning was gone in about half an hour.

There wasn't enough snow on the Bernardi Rome campus last week to make a snowperson, unless you'd settle for a small one.

Thanos Zyngas, director of St. Thomas' campus in Rome, is clearly homesick for Minnesota snow. Well, maybe.
