An exceptionally rare and long-lasting snowstorm battered Attica this week–the historical region that encompasses Greece’s capital city Athens and the surrounding countryside projecting into the Aegean Sea.
While winter snowfall may be commonplace across Greece’s higher elevations, it is much rarer in and around the nation’s capital.
On Feb. 16, snowfall of 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) settled in Athens — accumulations that resulted in power cuts, traffic chaos, and the effective shut down of the city, as reported by greekcitytimes.com.
Rare snow also blanketed the Acropolis.
The Grand Solar Minimum is upon us and the evil powers that run the world are worried about global warming.
