Update on greek weather
Good evening, everyone.
The storm that is gradually making its way east of Greece has caused numerous problems around the country: - very low temperatures and very strong winds in the northeast - very low temperatures elsewhere, apart from Crete and the Dodecanese complex - abundant snowfalls in continental Greece, especially in parts of central Macedonia, Thessaly, eastern continental Greece and the Peloponnese The island of Cephallonia is in its second day without electric power supply. Locals say they don't remember snow settling on the Agia Pelagia beach. The Athens-Thessaloniki national road got blocked yesterday and drivers were stuck in a 15km long queue for 14 hours. The army had to provide drivers with food and water.

Up to 80 cm of snow in Thrakomakedones, a suburb in the northwest of the agglomeration. Circulation has been cut in all minor roads of the northern suburbs, the roads leading to the hill of Likavitos in the city centre and the roads towards the surrounding hills and mountains. Snowfalls persist in the north and the national road to Thessaloniki closes every now and then. The northwest of the country had its light snowfalls on Monday (never good accumulations with a northeasterly there). The lake of Ioannina produced some nice sculptures as it was forced offsho http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/1.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/3.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/4.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/5.jpg (let's sit for a coffee outside!) http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/10.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/2.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/6.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/7.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/8.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~pagouria/pagos250106/9.jpg After lakes, now it was the time of streams to start freezing.

Right now, it's snowing in Orestiada with a temperature of -7.0C, while temps plummeted to -13C there earlier today. Another ice day is forecast for many areas tomorrow, while ice should definitely be a problem in downtown Athens as well. Yannis, SE Athens -1.6C, RH 84%, SLP 1019.4 hPa 7cm lying snow |

Wonderful post with remarkable images Yannis.
The pictures from the shores of lake of Ioannina, remind me of the ones from Lake Geneva last year, perhaps even more spectacular. Many thanks Alex. "Yannis" wrote in message ...

.uk... Wonderful post with remarkable images Yannis. The pictures from the shores of lake of Ioannina, remind me of the ones from Lake Geneva last year, perhaps even more spectacular. Thanks Alex. Temps dropped to -19.8C this morning in Florina and -25C in the nearby villages of Kalliniki and Niki, close to the FYROM border. Not as cold elsewhe Kastoria: -15C Kozani: -9C Tripolis: -9C Thes/niki: -8C Larisa: -8C Lamia: -6C (and so on) Winds have eased down and Thursday has been a glorious -albeit chilly- day even in eastern Greece. Florina now counts 23 consecutive days with lying snow. Chalkida with lying snow down to the coastline. Pics by Angelos Vlachos http://briefcase.pathfinder.gr/zoom/Dirfis/42865/510576 http://briefcase.pathfinder.gr/zoom/Dirfis/42865/510569 And frozen Florina: http://users.otenet.gr/~alsiam/foto/24012006.jpg http://users.otenet.gr/~alsiam/foto/24012006d.jpg http://users.otenet.gr/~alsiam/foto/24012006b.jpg Dozens of villages still with no road access across continental Greece and the Peloponnese, while some ski resorts are not receiving guests because of excess snow. 3.5m of new snow in Hania, Mt Pelion.
