Reactions from the Romans about the Snow

Rome hasn't had a snowfall like it did the past two days since 1986, and it was obvious when I was shopping downtown at Vis Del Corso.

How the Romans reacted to snow:
Drove slow/normal or not at all (a lot fewer cars out)
Trams gave up
People didn't go to work (shops/bars were closed)
They acted like tourists in a sense that everyone was outside taking pictures of the statues/building and  each other. I saw a couple take a photo of a big puddle by itself and one with them leaning over it.
Covered head to toe with winter gear. The snow was melted on the streets..
Snow ball fights everywhere
People didn't know how to shovel off snow off of their cars.
Moon boots. 'nuff said
Guys wore sweatpants
umbrellas in hands (prepared for anouther snowfall with clear skies?)
