The severe snowstorm that hit Greece continues to make life
a misery for the residents throughout the country. The snow has turned into ice,
so people are in a weather lockdown because the streets and pavements are like
skating rinks
Northern Athenian suburbs such as Holargos, Penteli, Agia
Paraskevi, Kifissia and Ecali to mention a few continue to face acute problems
with citizens trapped in their homes.
The situation is much more difficult in Central and Northern
Greece. At the same time, the frost and
ice have destroyed all the vegetables in cultivated areas and the prices have
gone sky-high. Another problem caused by
the severe weather are fallen trees that could not stand the weight of the
snow, so many power loads were destroyed and several areas in Greece are still
in black down conditions, with people freezing and conserving food in the snow.
It is extremely difficult and perilous
to take sick people to hospitals which is perhaps the worse. And life goes on,
births and deaths, it is very difficult for both, under these circumstance, the
beginning and end of life, euphoria and tragedy, congratulations, and
condolences
I have never experienced such extreme weather conditions in
Greece during my long life. Neither do I
remember such conditions in Britain, Ireland and Switzerland where I went to
school and college when I was young. The
big freeze that might have very serious results such as deaths.
Fortunately, the sun came out and most of the snow melted!
Please do be vaccinated against Covid 19 so that your
beloved families, friends, the world and you will remain healthy and safe,
despite the omicron 2 and Delta variants.
