[Greece.GreekReporter] Millions of Greeks from the northern parts of the country woke up on Thursday, April 2, only to see a completely white and wintry scene outside of their houses, amid the strict coronavirus lockdown.

Not only mountainous villages but also large towns and cities from West and Central Macedonia saw a thick blanket of snow covering their rooftops, cars and streets.

Of course, Northern Greece is used to low temperatures and snow, but even for their standards, such an intense snowfall in April is rare.

#1 Gee, what a surprise! We also woke up to 5" of fluffy white stuff on the ground this morning here in Colorado Springs. Of course, this isn't the first time, or even that rare. I've seen it snow as late as July 4th. . .

#4 SteveS, but right after that, it's going to heat right up. Aren't we down to 11 years now?

#5 I hate to admit it Rambler, but I've been doomed so many times I've kinda sorta lost track of exactly where we are on the Doom-o-meter.
