Well, so if I did? Throwing in an attempted insult in your reply wasn't
necessary or even clever.

If you can't say anything good about someone, say nothing.

In other words are these winter snowfalls normal or more exceptional
nowadays?

They're normal for these areas of Greece that it is -still- snowing and
people have been expecting them. If we got these accumulations of snow
overnight in the centre of Athens, however, it would have caused chaos :-)
(Athens is pretty much like the SE of England, in terms of journalists
attention/exaggeration and people's unpreparedness).

The reason I ask is along Philip Eden's findings with regards to the UK
experiencing more predominently south and southwest winds in the
winter months, hence the lack of cold weather here.

There are "bad" (mild) winters here too -ofcourse- like the 2000-2001 one.

snip Eastern Europe, and particularly the eastern Balkans, must have had
some exceptional weather this winter as I saw images of the western Black
Sea, floating ice and partly frozen even. It doesn't occure often, the last
time was winter of 1985.
