It's tue!It snowed in Athens. It was absolutely beautiful. In other areas of Greece and even Athens the snow was at least a metre high. Everything was covered in clean white snow. It looked magical. And then....

The snow started to melt slowly so people thought it would be great to walk outside. That's a great idea if you are wearing suitable shoes. Within a day 230 people had broken hands, legs and hips. The ice only melted today because the temperature went up to 14 degrees and made the roads relatively safe to drive on.

Spring is around the corner now. Oh well, it was good while it lasted:-)
