Wintery Athenian Wonderland
Although it probably didn't make the headlines in your city's newspaper or get coverage in your local 6pm news, Athens had quite a winter snowstorm a few weeks ago. Since the weather had been so sunny and warm when I'd arrived (early Feb.), it was quite a surprise that Apollo would allow such a winter spell. We got dumped on by 7-8" (18-20cm) of snow within an 18-hour period and had sub-freezing temps for two days, during which our university classes were canceled. Apparently such winter weather isn't completely unheard of in Athens, but it only comes along once every five years or so. Here are some pics of February in Athens, North Dakota:
