Snow in Greece
If all the snow that is on TV would be on the streets, we would have a problem
For the last weekend (15/16 of January) the media promised us (the
inhabitants of Greece) a major snow chaos. Snow was said to be reaching
the center of Athens. As it turned out it was mostly hype. Northern
Greece had snow of course, but I guess the people there are used to
it. Comes with living on a mountain. It was almost comical how the
journalists especially on TV went on a snow hunt. There has to be a
story somewhere. In Athens we just had a lot of rain and empty streets,
people stayed home, because they were afraid to be blocked off by the
frightening snow.
Update 2006: Looking for information on the current situation (January 24 and 25, 2006) in Athens and Greece? Look at the new posts:
Winter... Chaos? and
Snowy Athens
Update 2008: It's been snowing again, resulting in even more chaos, see Oh, yeah, the Snow in Greece
