From Thursday afternoon!

Newsroom January 3 07:27

A serious deterioration in the weather conditions will start from Thursday and it will effect especially Northern Greece and then the rest of the country, just days after the previous wave of bad weather.

 

The phenomena will reach Crete and chances are that it will be snowing simultaneously in Athens, Thessaloniki, Larisa and probably Patra and Agrinio!

In the main time snow will keep falling in Macedonia and Thrace until the conditions will improve on Saturday morning and fade in northern Greece. Snowfall will continue in Thessaly and further to the South.
