Snow falls in Greece due to cold weather system

Temperatures in Greece fell below freezing on Sunday with snow hitting many parts of the country.

It's down to a low pressure weather system, dubbed "Medea", that's currently in its first phase.

It first arrived in northern and central Greece with snowfall making traveling and transportation more difficult.

According to the National Observatory of Athens weather service, after Sunday afternoon the bad weather should improve in the north and head to the east and south.

It's expected to extend to lower altitudes and even the northern suburbs of Athens.
