ITALY-WEATHER-COLD-SNOW

This photo taken on February 28, 2018 in front of St Mark's Square in Venice shows snow-covered gondolas following a snowfall the previous evening. - Europe remained on February 28 gripped by a blast of Siberian weather, accounting for at least 24 deaths and carpeting palm-lined Mediterranean beaches in snow. Italians' anger was also growing over nationwide disruptions to rail services, as a lack of defrosting equipment on the tracks meant workers having to clear snow and ice by hand.
