Even at relatively low-lying areas, snow fell due to the phenomena caused by a low barometric pressure system named "Sophia."

"Sophia" will continue to bring very low temperatures, as a mass of cold air from the north sweeps through the country. Temperatures will drop several degrees below zero Celsius on Friday and Saturday, especially in central and northern Greece.
