Default Very heavy snowfalls in central Greece

Great photos indeed, Athens must be in line for an ice day today? Which
must be a very rare event?


The last ice day I recorded here was January 5th, 2002. Today is an ice day
for this site of SE Athens for sure (min -4.3C, max -1.1C so far), I bet it
should be an ice day for downtown too.
Skies are broken now and there is some light snow falling from the clouds
stuck a mile north of me, on top of the hills (orographic cloudiness as
always, this is the lee side of the mountains and hills). Blowing snow
appears to be a problem as it reduces visibility to ..two bushes (lol, that
means around 5-10m) towards the edge of the city. Pictures will follow.

Yannis, SE Athens
-2.1C, RH 72%, SLP 1017.2 hPa
