The storm has been dubbed "Medea" after the mythical Greek sorceress of the Argonauts

Greece was hit by more snow than in the previous 10 years as the Medea cold front gripped the Mediterranean country. Temperatures reached as low as -19 degrees Celsius (-2.2 F) and parts of the capital city, Athens, were left without electricity as fallen trees cut power supplies.

Public broadcaster ERT TV said that two men died after their mechanical respiratory aids stopped working during one of the power cuts. A farmer also died on the island of Crete. He was found in a snow-covered area on his farm.

Covid-19 vaccinations were postponed in the capital, Athens, where roads were closed and public transport disrupted by the storm.

Ferry travel has also been interrupted by the wintery weather conditions and high winds.

The cold snap is expected to pass by Thursday with temperatures quickly rising to some 14 degrees Celsius.

Something interesting I thought about the weather recently:
Vaccinations are getting postponed because it's hard for people to get anywhere, but a the same time won't case numbers be a lot lower than before because no one's going anywhere?

Wow, you're right. That's one good thing I guess.
