Febbraio 1755, cinque giorni di neve abbondante in Salento con congelamento del porto interno (al tempo ridotto a una palude, quindi acqua salmastra più che marina, però tanto di cappello) e morte di ulivi nel leccese.

Comunque mi viene già l'acquolina in bocca a pensare a tutto quello che farai
Ahhh, eh come no, conosco bene Gran gelo anche al nord-est:
"Relying on Temanza, Toaldo wrote 45 years later: “Year 1755: In January the Lagoon was twice frozen over. The ice held the weight of people. Temanza measured the ice thickness and it was found to be 15 Venetian inches, i.e. 43 cm (1 Venice inch= 2.898 cm). No snow." 205 An ice sheet 43 cm thick may bear up to 7500 kg.
The velocity at which ice was formed on January 6th was impressive. All the canals were frozen over in a few hours. Initially the Lagoon was rough because of the strong wind. In the marsh areas, where water was shallow and colder, the ice slab kept the form of waves. We cannot know whether the water had formed so many freezing nuclei that determined an instantaneous transition, or the rough appearance was simply determined by wind driven water splashing on already formed ice and then building-up illusion of waves. The thickness of ice was two Venetian feet, i.e. about 70 cm (1 Venetian feet = 34,77 cm). It should be noted that this thickness is almost twice as much as the measurement taken by Temanza; however, this difference can be explained by the location and the time the measurements have been taken."
