Two more 24 hours, today and tomorrow bad weather barbarian bring snow falls, wet snow And rain in their regions Magnesiaher eastern part of Central Greece (Phthiotis, Boeotia and Attica), Evia and northeastern Peloponnesewith increasing but noticeable intensity. In fact, according to the National Observatory of Athens forecast, snowfall is expected in these areas, even in low-lying areas. The most intense events will be noted in Magnesia and the northern part of Evia, where new snowfall will be added to the already existing significant snow cover. Less snow is estimated in eastern Sterea, mainly in Viotia, but also in Phthiotis (mainly in semi-mountainous and mountainous areas). Since sections of the Athens-Thessaloniki motorway are also in the snowfall zone, special care will be required.

As for Attica, snowfall is expected at night, mainly in the north-north-eastern regions, with the possibility of snowfall up to 10 cm in the lowlands and 20-30 cm in the highlands. Snow or sleet may also fall in the more southerly parts.

From Thursday, weather is expected to weaken in Attica, with snowfall in the morning hours and very cold weather forecast. Weaker phenomena will also occur on Friday, which will give the bad weather “Barbarian” a longer duration. The problems were significant yesterday mainly in the northern suburbs, as a result of which it was decided that schools will remain closed today and Wednesday in the municipalities of Amarousi, Vrilissi, Heraklion, Kifisia, Lykovrisis-Pefki, Metamorphosis, Nea Ionia, Penteli, Chalandrio, Philotei-Psyhiko . Schools will also remain closed in the municipalities of Oropos, Dionysus, Acharna and Pallini. In the entire municipality of Marathon, schools will be closed, while in Nea Makri they will be open. In Western Attica, schools will remain closed in the municipalities of Elefsina, Mandras and Filis. In the municipality of Salamina, a decision was also made to close schools due to very low temperatures, which caused ice to form on the streets. All public and private schools of a hyperlocal nature in Attica (EPAL, Musical, Artistic, Evening and Experimental) are also closed. However, public markets will operate throughout Attica. “We have already cleaned the city three times, and again the small streets are clogged,” Pentelis Mayor Dimitra Kehagia tells K. According to him, very intense snow falls periodically in this area in relatively short periods of time. “However, there are enough of them to fill the roads and require a snowplow.” However, there are no other problems, he said.

A similar picture was in the municipality of Dionysus, where his services are constantly pouring salt and at the same time supplying salt to the townspeople. The biggest enemy is not heavy snowfall and snow depth, but ice due to very low temperatures.

In the municipality of Kifissia, the roads leading to the two major hospitals KAT and Agia Anargyri are mainly cleared. In some cases, the civil protection of the municipality had to intervene so that citizens from vulnerable groups could seek emergency medical care.
