Re:	NORTHERN ITALY – SEVERE WEATHER

Dear NASA Member:

As of yesterday, all of Northern Italy has experienced a severe winter snow storm. The major Mediterranean Ports of Genoa and La Spezia have been especially affected by this storm. The Port of Genoa has all highways closed to truck traffic entering or exiting the port. Most of today’s positioning from these two ports has not been completed.

The situation should be solved during the weekend.

Best regards,
