I expect the impending snowstorm will be front page news in Italia.
Take a look at one or two publications (list below), read an article, and copy the WORDS you recognize, with the translation.
ATTENZIONE: check the correct translation of the words. IF you guessed the meaning wrong, write both your guess and the real translation.
ALSO: can you guess words from the context rather than just by similarities with other languages you know?
