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

My records only go back to October 2001 but I have not yet recorded and ice
day here. The closest I have come was the 8th of January 2003 with a maximum
of 0.4°C and a minimum of -5.2°C.
