light snow has been falling since the early morning hours across the
basin
of Athens.

Oh, now, please, Yannis, you know how strongly I feel about this.:-(

Those are pretty impressive snowflakes nonetheless. Just what exactly
is the diameter of that particular snowflake?

Also, is that an indoor sofa that it's on?

Cheers,
