Ice on the Puddles - 19 February 2008

Temperatures dropped to well below freezing on Symi last night. It was still -3 degrees in my garden at 07.00 this morning. The following photographs were taken on the way to work this morning. On television this morning we listened with some amazement to a BBC World reporter describing the snow in Athens as 'unseasonable'. Greece has snow to varying extents every winter, and snow falls in Athens' northern suburbs most winter. Every three or four years it also falls in central Athens and this certainly isn't the first time snow has closed the airport!
