Parts of northern Greece woke up under a blanket of snow (some called it a blizzard) on Holy Wednesday as a mid-Spring cold front descended upon the country from the north.

Social media users posted videos and photos of the heavy snowfall in towns and villages in the Florina and Kastoria regions.

Temperatures in most parts of the country dropped by as much as eight degrees Celsius in some areas on Wednesday and winds became stronger as well, according to the Athens National Observatory’s meteo service.
