Hi Yannis,

We often hear from you regarding snowfall in Greece.In the event of
global warming etc, which seems to have reduced the winters in the
south of the uk to a few frosts, is the frequency of snowfall in
Greece greater or lesser than the long term average? Another words are
these winter snowfalls normal or more exceptional nowadays?

The reson I ask is along Philip Eden's findings with regards to the UK
experiencing more predominently south and southwest winds in the
winter months, hence the lack of cold weather here.

Would be interested in your thoughts?

Keith (Southend)

35 cm of snow already accumulated since snowfalls started late last night in
Florina, 23 cm in Kastoria (with part of the lake being white) and still
snowing heavily with visibility restricted to 100 m in both towns.
There is lying snow in various areas of northern and central Greece as well,
like Karditsa (110 m amsl) and the plains outside Thessaloniki (altitude 50
m amsl).
