A cold front which is sweeping Greece is bringing heavy snow to many parts of the country. Snow, accompanied by freezing northerly winds, fell overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday morning in towns in the regions of Macedonia and Thrace.
Much of the prefecture of Thessaloniki, as well as mountainous parts of Halkidiki, saw snowfall. The regional police authority for central Macedonia warned motorists that anti-skid chains would be necessary for the road network.According to the Athens National Observatory’s Meteo weather service, the cold snap, which will result in a significant drop in temperatures, is moving toward southern parts of the country on Wednesday.
Snow will continue to fall on Wednesday in many low-altitude areas of Macedonia, while rain will fall in Thessaly, Peloponnese, Euboea and the Cyclades.
