Default Last week pics from the Aegean

As has already been noted, last week was a very harsh one for most Aegean
isles, with F14 winds, blizzards and two islands and eastern Crete (up to
130 cm of snow in inhabited areas of Lasithi) declaring a state of
emergency. Here are some photographs from the island of Andros (central
Aegean):

A textbook warm front brought much milder air masses from the southwest and
heavy snowfalls turned to rain in the low lying areas of northern Greece by
Tuesday afternoon. Thursday brought some very nasty downpours of rain over
much of continental Greece again (max rainfall intensity 197.6 mm/h in SE
Athens), while the low that brought that snow to NW Europe should affect us
tomorrow with heavy rainfalls turning to snowfalls over much of continental
regions. The following week could bring some belated halcyon days.

Absolute impressive pictures, Yannis! These hurricane winds must also have
caused enormous waves in the Aegean. Hardly can imagine such violence. Once
sailed the North Sea with wave-heights up till 7 metre. Was happy to reach
land again - however entering a harbour, in these circumstances, is the
most tricky part of the tour!

mmmmm, yes -- but where's the sunny island, the deep blue sky, the azuri sea
;-pp?

Those conditions in the N Aegean suggest that Izmir had a bit of a pasting, I
haven't heard anything from some acquaintances (chip-shop owners, actually) who
have relatives in Izmir.

Our neighbours found themselves in very hard conditions, too. Istanbul
paralysed after some very heavy snowfalls, while many areas received simply
too much snow.

It is snowing again throughout the northwest of Greece. It has become a bit
brighter in Athens after noon's thunderstorms, but, as soon as the low that
affected NW Europe during the last days meets the Aegean, winds should veer
north here, too, and the HNMS are forecasting snow for the greek capital
tomorrow -i only see sleet but here's hope:-)

Yannis.
Was Elounda in Crete badly affected with snow last week, as we were on
holiday there last October.
Best regards.

I believe it wasn't, I've heard nothing worrying about Elounda.

Atb,
