Between the end of January and mid February 2012, the Italian peninsula has been affected by the influence of many advections of arctic-continental air. These, that have generate a series of front; this brought to diffuse mainly snowy precipitation, mostly affecting in particular the central-southern Regions. Aim of this work is to analyze the cumulative height of snow measured in 43 stations of the different monitoring networks in the region of Molise and their comparisons to data for other major events observed during the winters of 1929, 1956 and 1985 in 12 stations. Compared to these earlier events, accumulations of fresh snow recorded during the events of 2012 can be characterized as "exceptional" in the mid-altitude areas of Molise region, in ordinary contexts thermaland anemometer.
