The Police have suspended vehicle traffic on Parnithas Avenue from the height of the casino due to snowfall.
There are many vehicles in the area, which may encounter small sections of ice on the road. However, the most dangerous obstacle is a tree that fell onto the roadway on Parnithas Avenue, effectively closing half of the road.
Shortly before 6:00 PM, the snowfall became much more intense in the wider area around the casino but also at slightly lower altitudes.
The winter weather in the country will continue in the coming days with locally heavy rains, storms, gusty northeasterly winds in the central and northern parts of eastern Greece and snowfall in the mountainous areas as well as temporarily in semi-mountainous areas in the central and northern parts.
Some parts of Greece are even experiencing a white Christmas.
Tomorrow, Thursday, heavy rains are expected in eastern Thessaly, the Sporades, Evia, eastern Sterea (mainly the Phthiotis – Boeotia region), the Cyclades (mainly western and northern) and from noon in Attica and eastern Peloponnese.
