Marco Malcangi wanted to take advantage of the recent snow fall and do some powder skiing, but found he was snowed in and needed to wade through five-foot snow to leave his home

An Italian man had to wade through five-feet high snow just to leave his house after large parts of central and northern Europe were blanketed.

Marco Malcangi said he wanted to take advantage of the recent snow fall and do some powder skiing.

But the 22-year-old got more than he bargained for as he was greeted with snow that was five feet deep where he was staying in Valle d'Aosta, in the Italian alps.

In a video shared by the Italian, only his head and shoulders are visible as he wades through the snow towards the camera, with his home in the background.

Wearing a large red ski jacket, goggles, mittens and a winter hat with a GoPro mounted on top, he is seen using his ski poles to help fight through the snow.

Bewick's swans return to the Arctic tundra in the early spring to mate, having flown to the UK to avoid a harsher winter

A flock of Bewick's swans which had begun their migration from the UK to the Arctic tundra have turned back due to Storm Darcy.

Twenty birds had set off from Slimbridge Wetland Centre last week but 12 reappeared at the site just four days later.

Eleven had previously left from the centre and one new Bewick's swan, which staff have now named Darcy, tagged along.

Each year, Bewick's swans fly 4,000km to the UK to escape the harsh Russian winter and journey back there in early spring to breed.
