Northern Greece, ready for severe snowfalls!!!

At last severe snowfalls will appear in Northern Greece after 2 years of drought!!!
Specifically, on Friday morning snow will start falling in Eastern Greece and later in the day snowfalls will cover Northern and Central Greece, also areas near the coastline... However, even one day before the arrival of the cold-wave, nothing is sure about how the weather will go on... Will the temperature in areas, which are next to the sea, be low enough? Will the precipitation be enough, so that the snow will cover the ground? How long will the snowfalls last? Will rainfalls melt the snow?
Unfortunately, nothing is sure yet, and I hope in severe snowfalls in North Greece and Thessaloniki, because we really deserve it after 2 years of boring weather and drought... I personally, haven't seen a snowflake for these 2 years at all.
As you can understand I will continue with the WebcamsInNorway, when the whole thing is over...

Snow In Many Spots
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Snow over most of Southeastern Europe, and that might even include seeing some snow in cities like Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest and Sofia. But some of the more impressive locations that could see snow include near Istanbul, and into much of Greece. All I can say is this is quite an impressive cold wave, and the heart of this cold is coming in from Russia, the first major push of the year. But, how much snow can we see?

It really looks like most of the uncommon locations to see snow will be around only seeing some light snowfall, maybe a cm, but most of those locations will see just some light flurries mixing in. The center of the storm will be pushing well into parts of Southeastern Europe, meaning that this cold air will be quite an impressive blast. This moves in from near Scandinavia and just goes south through the day Wednesday and gets into central parts of Southeastern Europe near northern Greece early on Friday. But this cold shot will only be temporary as the true heart of the cold gets pushed off to the east for late Saturday and into Sunday. It truly is quite impressive -- this cold shot -- as it could help to bring temperatures well below normal for the month from just the next few days alone. But how much snow will we see?

Yes, it's very difficult to say this area will see this much and this will see this much, so it's best to check AccuWeather.com for that info for each and every one of your locations. But generally speaking, through early Sunday, there might be around 10 cms in some of the higher elevations of the eastern Alps and to the south over some mountains above roughly 700-1,000 meters. I do think there could be an area that sees some heavy snowfall, especially near the track of the upper-level low. There may be some locations that see around 2cms in some of the highest elevations, so enjoy this snow! Farther to the south and also at lower elevations, there will be snow to elevations of even around 100 meters or less, so watch for this even near the coastline. There could be some snow mixing in with these showers just near the coastline, and this might be one of the only chances we see of having snow for the year in these spots. But do enjoy the snow, it will surely be good and very nice to see this cold to Christmas. Meanwhile, these mild temperatures are over Western Europe with a strong ridge of high pressure over the area.
