A heavy snowstorm has been sweeping the city of Volos, its wider area as well as Pelion since 11.15 a.m., for the third day today.

The snowfall, accompanied by lightning and lightning, is very intense, while the density is so great that they turned everything white again – of course the visibility is very limited.

The very intense snowfall started to create problems again since the roads are filled with snow in a short time and snow plows and mainly water trucks that constantly pour sea water on the road surface to melt the snow came back to the streets. Characteristically, the mayor of Volos, Achilleas Beos, said that every minute a car with seawater leaves the port to head to areas of Volos.

Snow removal machines and salt pumps are constantly moving all over the road network of Pelion and a great battle is being fought to keep the roads open, but chains are necessary from Ano Volos and up towards Chania and Zagora.

Schools remain closed throughout Magnesia and Skiathos.
