Heavy Snowstorm in the Alps Leaves at Least One Person Dead and Two Missing

A severe storm has affected Italy, France, and Switzerland, causing widespread disruptions and at least two reported fatalities. The storm brought intense rain to northern Italy, resulting in flooding that led to the discovery of a 92-year-old man dead in his home. In France, the storm turned to snow above 1,800 meters altitude, forcing the temporary closure of several ski resorts, including Tignes and Val Thorens, due to high avalanche risk.
