[01] Cold front sweepts across northern Greece
Subzero temperatures amid mostly sunny skies caused school closings and
frozen-over roadways through northern Greece's Macedonia, Epirus and
Thrace provinces on Monday.
The lowest temperature in any town was recorded at the Nevrokopi
township, near the border with Bulgaria, at -17C. Heavy snowfall, up to
half a metre in one day, mostly hit the NE border prefecture of Evros
on Sunday.
Meanwhile, authorities cautioned motorists to use snow chairs and tires
on mountainous and provincial roads.
