Abstract

an extreme event of heavy snowfall occurred in the last 11 march 2004 in many regions of the north Italy. It was one of the most important events of snowfall in the winter season 2003-2004 and it was really unusual for the period. The possibility of snowfall at the lower levels was forecasted two days before but the quantity of the precipitation was generally underestimated by the models. This event caused many problems to the civil protection and to the public above all in the traffic and the increasing avalanche risk.
