All of Greece is covered in it. Quite rare to see here.


It's fucking cold.

You know..as snow usually is.
 
Thats better than a drought, last fall we were having dust storms but the snow came just in time. Its nice to have some water in the river, it makes for good fishing later.

I live in dry land farm country so water is wanted this time of year.
 
It never snows here now. I'm sure it used to.
 
It's 80 degrees here today.. I wouldn't mind a little snow.
 
Is it winter in Greece? (I know dumb question but it's summer in Australia isn't it?)

We're a month away from the first day of spring, and we haven't had a decent snowstorm yet. The temperature has jumped around from below freezing to springlike every other week. It sucks.

I live in the Northeast, where we are supposed to have four distinct seasons. We've been getting shortchanged a lot since Al Gore invented all these weather troubles.
 
Greece is in the Northen Hemisphere...Australia isn't.
 
In Boston, we get all four seasons (sometimes within the span of a week) but it's always been that way.
 
In Soviet Russia, seasons get you!
 
Winter storm blankets Greece with snow
Heavy snowfall blanketed much of Greece on Sunday, as meteorologists' predictions, days earlier, of a severe winter storm passing through the east Mediterranean proved extremely accurate.

The primary goal for state services over the weekend was to keep the main north-south road axis in the country, the Athens-Thessaloniki highway, opened, even if meant only for four-wheel drive vehicles or vehicles fitted with snow chains.

In the greater Athens area, the mountains surrounding the capital were completely cut off due to the snow, which piled up even in the city's centre up to 20 cm. Snowfall was continued unabated in Athens throughout the afternoon, although most forms of mass transit were unaffected, sans bus routes to northern Athens. Additionally, the Athens metro was due to remain open all night on Sunday through Monday morning.

Conversely, the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport of Athens was closed at 5 p.m. on Sunday until further notice due to low visibility in the area, east of Athens proper.

Schools in the greater Athens-Piraeus area were ordered closed for Monday, while most sports events scheduled for Sunday, including a handful of Super League football matches, were cancelled.

As opposed to central and southern Greece, sunshine and low temperatures greeted residents in Thessaloniki and central Macedonia.

Conditions on provincial roadways, especially in mountainous regions, were reported as perilous, with authorities warning the public to stay off the roads if possible.

The forecast for Monday called for clear weather in much of northern Greece with subsiding snowfall elsewhere, also clearing by evening. A frost warning for much of the country was also forecast, however.

Brrrrr...
 
You know we're really fucked when it starts snowing in Amman.
 
well, which is it, people?!!!?

Do we croak from Global Warming, or an Ice Age!?

I have to make some wardrobe decisions here!!
 
Maybe it heralds the second coming of Zeus or some such shit.
 
Whoever took Zod's parking space, HE'S GONNA BE PISSED WHEN HE GETS BACK!
 
DON'T DIE, MENTALIST.


DON'T DIE.
 
Do you even have any warm clothes? Doesn't everyone walk around in a thong there?
 
The Greek men can just let their fur grow out some more and they're fine.

Not anymore. Several inches of snow on the ground. It started overnight and will probably continue through the day. Be careful what you wish for...
 
We only get snow here once every couple of years, but once upon a time the Thames would freeze over and the Victorians would have parties and suchlike on there.
 
What have the romans ever done for us?
 
If I remember "Victorian Week" in primary school correctly their parties suck. Frozen Thames or not.
