Armed forces placed on standby for new cold snap in Greece
Defense Minister Nikos Dendias has ordered the armed forces to be on standby as a new wave of bad weather hits Greece.
The Civil Protection Authority in central and northern Greece is also on standby for potential problems caused by the cold weather and strong winds expected in many parts of the country.
The temperature is expected to reach as low as -11 in Florina, West Macedonia. Meteorologists believe it could snow overnight in Athens’s northern suburbs.
