snow greece
Many regions throughout Greece will see snowfall on Thursday, even in relatively low-lying areas, as part of the phenomena caused by the "Sophia" weather system.

According to the latest forecast by the National Observatory of Athens' Meteo service, snowfall will be especially heavy Thursday (today) and Friday. It is already snowing throughout the prefectures of Macedonia, Ioannina, Trikala and Larissa, and tire chains are required on several roads.

Snow is also expected in Greece's second-largest city of Thessaloniki as well and even the northern suburbs of Athens will see snow in the evening.

"Sophia" will bring very low temperatures, as a mass of cold air from the north sweeps through the country. Temperatures will drop several degrees below zero Celsius overnight into Friday and Saturday, especially in central and northern Greece.
