The Alps around<br />

Lake Como show<br />

a consistent snow<br />

cover, after the<br />

snowfalls of the beginning<br />

of January<br />

(January 13, 2008;<br />

The Cima de’<br />

Piazzi (3440 m)<br />

with the Val Lia<br />

and Cardonnè<br />

<strong>Glacier</strong>s. The<br />

snow fallen at<br />

the beginning<br />

of January was<br />

eroded by strong<br />

winds, leaving<br />

the glaciers uncovered<br />

in many<br />

spots (February<br />

6, 2008; photo by<br />

M. Leoni).<br />

The Pizzo Scalino <strong>Glacier</strong> (March 29, 2008). The snow cover is rather scarce, reflecting<br />

a poor accumulation season. The picture shows the lack of autumnal precipitation<br />

and the strong erosion of the locations exposed to northern winds. (Photo by V.<br />
