Snowfalls triggering rockfalls

The conspicuous snowfalls since beginning of December, combined with relatively mild temperatures before and after, have triggered some rockfalls in the region of Southtyrol.
The sunny weather and the resulting mild temperatures during November have prevent the freezing of the soils, and the meltwater of the snow/ice can now easily infiltrate soil and bedrock, triggering sliding and collapsing of material (numbers refers to locations on map):
