The bad weather that returned to northern Greece early Sunday morning with snowfall on the mountains and a sharp drop in temperatures in lower altitudes and coastal regions, is continuing to worsen, Monday evening.
Snow has interrupted traffic on the Kastoria-Florina and Florina-Kastoria provincial road network via Vitsi, while motorists on the Arnissa-Vorra Pellas sky resort are advised to use snow chains.
Snow is falling on the mountains in northern Greece and in Thessaly, in the central part of the country, with temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius.
According to forecasts, the bad weather will continue until Tuesday with heavy snowfall and low temperatures in the eastern and northern parts of the country, especially at higher altitudes.
There is speculation that even downtown Athens may experience snowfall.
