It's already snowing in many areas in South and East Greece and the snow amount in some areas is increasing. However, the precipitation will be almost non-existent again in North Greece, because of the reason I mention last time...
Suddenly, a strong wind appeared yesterday evening and made the temperature fall. Despite the 7oC, my hands were red and hurt, cause the real feel was much colder (North wind) and some Cirrus and Altocumulus clouds appeared.
The wind now has calmed down and the temperature is still above 0oC in Thessaloniki, contrary to many other locations, where it's much colder and it's snowing. The sky is covered with clouds, although the sun is occasionally seen. The darkest clouds are some kilometres South of here, towards Halkidiki, where it has been snowing since early morning. Just some kilometres South of here! Hopefully, some snow will be experienced also in Thessaloniki later today, but not anything exciting...
The min today was +2oC and the max +5oC some hours ago. The temperature has started falling again and it will continue falling till tomorrow, when it will be really cold as it never has been for many years. The temperature up to 850hPa will be -12oC for Thessaloniki and -4oC for Athens!
Some locations, where it's snowing right now
Athens, Ioannina, Scopelos, Tripoli, Karditsa, Agrinio, Halkida, Halkidiki, etc...
You can watch live snowfall in Athens here;

PS. I captured a nacreous cloud yesterday, those beautiful clouds that always get so many colours, when they are near the sun. However, this one was a little far away from the sun. Many lenticularis appeared that day, too.
