Public life in Greece has been severely disrupted by heavy snowfall. The government has sent home all officials except those responsible for managing the emergency, such as snowplows, firefighters, police and other emergency services.
Many roads have become impassable and closed. Athens airport is still open, but air traffic has been heavily delayed. Schools in almost all of Greece are closed today and tomorrow.
