Wintry weather in Greece - 27 February 2012

Athens News
WINTER WEATHER Much of mainland Greece saw continuous snowfall and very low temperatures yesterday, making mountainous roads impassable without snow chains. According to meteorologists, the cold front will intensify over next two days, with northerly winds reaching 5 Beaufort. Temperatures will fall in the northwestern parts of the country to as low as -20C, with sleet forecast again for much of the country. Milder weather is forecast from Wednesday.
There was hail in Naxos this morning, but the sea looks calm and the temperature is mild.   But the BBC weather forecast shows that 40 mph winds are forecast - force 8, enough for ferries to stop.
