A layer of snow caps the forest of openwork pinnacles and spires set upon the flying buttresses of Milan St. Ambrose’s Cathedral, Italy, Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012. An unusually severe wave of bad weather is battering the country and threatens to get worse. Bad weather has forced Ferrari to scrap the official launch of their 2012 Formula One car on Friday. The Italian team said that they had no choice but to cancel the presentation at their Maranello headquarters because heavy snowfall was forecast to continue and temperatures to drop further.
