Default [WR] Unlimited visibility

Good evening, everyone.

The cold front (kata-front) that passed over Greece yesterday brought in
some dry, continental air. The northwest of the country got some snow
showers again, while it remained dry and milder in most of the rest regions.
The most interesting part was the extremely good visibility that was
reported throughout the country. Thessaloniki reported visibility to Mt.
Olympus, Mt. Pilion and Mt. Dirfys on Evia island (!!!). The map below
shows the following areas (noted black, from north to south):

a) city of Thessaloniki
b) Mt. Olympus
c) Mt. Pilion
d) Mt. Dirfys
e) city of Athens
f) eastern Peloponnese, which was visible from Athens, along with the
Saronic isles in between.
