Even with the snow a small crowd of people gather in Piazza San Carlo, in Torino, Italy, on Sunday, to watch that day's medals ceremony and concert on a giant screen set up in the piazza. Between the time of night, the lights and the square itself, snow in Piazza San Carlo took nothing away from the piazza's elegance, but added an atmosphere of mystery. People take cover from the snow under umbrellas while walking through downtown Torino on Sunday. Some still stop to have their picture taken in from of the Olympic rings.

Police stand guard in Piazza Castello near the entrance to the Medals Plaza Sunday evening before the medals ceremony and concert. Piazza Castello, usually bustling with traffic and pedestrians, is closed off before every evening's ceremony.
