Default [WR] Snow in Thessaloniki

Snowing currently in Thessaloniki:
LGTS 212150Z 36018KT 1100 +SN BR BKN018 OVC060 01/M03 Q1001 NOSIG

Already settling on the cars: webcam from the centre of the city

Our explosive cyclogenesis is going on, currently 989.9 hPa and dropping
fast (it was at 1008.6 hPa yesterday at this time of the night).

Heavy thundery rain showers in Athens for the time being, maximum rain
intensity reached 90.2 mm/h. The drop in temperature should start during the
following hours (oh, no sleep again!) and rain should turn to snow tomorrow
before the precipitation ends (with temperatures at 850 hPa close to -15C).
Severe frosts more than just likely in northern and parts of central Greece
through Monday :-)
All types of vessels have already been prohibited to sail throughout the
Aegean, as wind force is expected to reach F11 within the day.
