Mykonos on Sunday is covered in a thick layer of snow.

Mykonos woke up on Sunday covered in snow, a rare event on the cosmopolitan Greek island.

Locals say that the last time this amount of snow fell on Cyclades was decades ago.

Locals captured the fairytale scenes as snow covered the famous beaches of the island, such as Psarou, Super Paradise, and Elia.

Snow in Mykonos and in most of Greece

As forecasted in an emergency bulletin released by the National Meteorological Service on Friday, snow fell even on the Aegean islands, which is a rare phenomenon.

The famous beaches of Mykonos are covered in snow.

Extreme weather conditions are expected in areas of Greece on Saturday and Monday, as the 'Elpis" weather front brings low temperatures, heavy snowfall, and gale-force winds.

Temperatures throughout the country will gradually fall from Saturday, with highs of no more than to 3 degrees Celsius from Monday to Wednesday. There will be a heavy frost, especially in the central and northern regions of the country.

Macedonia and Thrace can expect snow from Saturday, followed by Thessaly, eastern Central Greece and Evia. By Saturday night, there will be snowfall in the Aegean and on Monday in eastern the Peloponnese, Crete and the Dodecanese. Much of the country will experience heavy snowfall on Tuesday, too.

"On Sunday the color white, which indicates a high probability of snowfall, covers most of the Aegean islands, most areas of Crete and the northern Dodecanese even at a low altitude," meteorologist Sakis Arnaoutoglou said.

Schools across Attica are expected to remain closed on Tuesday due to the weather front according to a statement by Attica Regional Governor George Patoulis on Sunday.

"I believe that schools will definitely be closed across Attica on Tuesday," said Patoulis in an interview with SKAI network.

The governor also mentioned that he has called an emergency meeting with all of Attica's mayors to deliberate on the situation for Monday, and estimated that the official announcements will be made on Sunday afternoon.

They call it “extreme weather conditions” even tho Greek locals stated that it had been a few decades between drinks.

In WWII Greece was not an easy country to conquer for a few reasons. One being it is "thin" in certain spots and 2 there are lots of elevated terrain and 3 they have supply from the Mediterranean and those pesky British always poking around in things that are none of their business or ought not be being they are an empire long dead. The cannons on the British ships are what enabled them to conquer so many hapless residents just going about their daily business, but the Brits didn't care about this - all they cared about was more wealth and power for the Crown I reckon. Well - time to put the UK in its place.

Ireland should separate first, and has there ever been a better time for this than now? Who knows, but now is an ideal time for Ireland to return to its namesake and be a complete Island as it was always and will always be. Northern Ireland was decimated by Cromwell and I hope Cromwell is feeling pain in his grave as I type this and that he and all his kin get the same treatment they gave to the Irish. Morever, there was a genocide carried out by the British in the 1800's of the Irish - it was a genocide consciously inflicted - and for that the UK deserves to be split up. After Ireland unifies per its name which means "Island" then Scotland should take the opportunity after kicking out all the mean ladies who want to do away with trial by jury to reclaim its homeland including the fisheries and all resources of the coast of Scotland that truly belong to the Scots and not the Crown. After Scotland does this Wales ought consider their options and by this time Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all the other parts of the so-called United Kingdom, which has never been United so it is a lie from the get-go will already be long gone and most of them will be subsumed by other countries just defending their interests. The UK really should be split up and after that how about some heads get put up on pikes and displayed for all to see so that the message is clear. I believe this message will resonate with the peasants other than the ones stuck in England after it gets what it deserves. What it has been dishing out for far to long. MI5 and MI6 will be completely dissolved by this time because they will be eating themselves into little pieces by virtue of all their long-time trickery and ignominy. I believe there is another country fixing to share this same fate and for that country the outcome will be swift and deserved and I relish the moment it occurs and I will not shed one tear for the country been pushing Apartheid when they really should have known better assuming they were motivated by love for other humans. Obviously they ain't so good riddance to that country as well.

The times are upon us and things are fixing to change swiftly.

Do you doubt this?

Well, time will tell now won't it.

Buffalo_Ken Yep. All of those passes and choikepoints have huge strategic military value - as they have throughout history.

Rowan Cocoan - there is a relatively recent friend I have made whom I met via a long time friend. My friend's family have a restaurant and the whole family is Greek and the food is good. I care for them and I'm glad they found a place in the US of A. I suspect though sometimes they wonder - why did we come here.....I don't know for sure and it is none of my business.

I believe in WWII the Germans, Italians, and Bulgarians decided to take over Greece and they held it for awhile (no thanks to the Italians cause they were hapless on the battlefield due to poor leadership and an undisciplined military at least in the games I've played), but the British were constantly there effing things up and making matters worse. It wasn't until the Red Army came along that Greece was liberated. The Italian Army was sort of a joke but their navy was impressive and wise use of those ships was imperative if the Axis wanted to achieve their ambitions. Whatever, the Italians were not up to the task and neither were the Germans for that matter because the Red Army kicked their ass in the cold Russian terrain and then after so many needless deaths (millions of deaths) the Red Army had to take care of business and they did. Just like they will again if duty calls.

~~

The punks in the US of A got lucky in a way and really they relied upon a weapon that never should have been deployed much less utilized. That is a SHAME upon the US of A but it comes as no surprise being the young country is so full of itself. So full of itself, imagining hegemony and exceptionalism. I hate to say it, but the US of A has a lot to apologize for since the end of WWII. The US of A should apologize to the whole world and to the citizens of its own country. The FED aspect of the US of A is dead. It is dead already. It is dead. A corpse. Dead. The US of A needs a humility pill like you wouldn't believe. A pill for the ages.

~

The US Constitution had some good ideas in it and maybe some of them can be preserved, but the evidence is in and the ideas obviously were not good enough because if they were why would we be in this moment of time? Truly the moment of reckoning has occurred and now it is time to sort things out if that is possible. I really don't know, but I do know that change is inevitable and change is on the way. I want the US of A to look inwards and try to reclaim the basis of it origin. Barring that, I want the US of A to be done and gone - at least federally. I want DC to be decommissioned peacefully. It is for the best.

70-30 is where the odds are just now....70-30.
