The weather is expected to get cold and it will snow not only on the mountains in Greece but also in the plains, according to EMY’s extraordinary weather forecast. Snowing on the islands and in Athens is expected to start tonight. It will snow on Monday and Monday night in Central Macedonia, Thessaly, eastern Greece, the island of Evbea and in the northern and eastern Peloponnese, and local roads will cover with ice.

The last weekend before Lent is eagerly awaited by young and old in Greece. Except for the Patras parade and celebrations in other cities, Greeks are preparing Ash Monday.
