Half way up the mountain road from Stavros to Anoghi, rain turned to snow and white patches lined the roadside. Tree tops were frosted like iced cakes and the closer we came to Anoghi, the snow began to freeze the windscreen and pile on the bonnet of the car. It snowed so hard that even Mt. Exoghi, quite a bit lower in altitude than Anoghi, also began to get a white top. Now I don't know why, but once the locals (including myself) hear the word snow, it's quickly into the car to look for it. Most of the island would have taken a drive to the top today to look and play in the snow. Adults, children and cats in heat. Some waited a little too long however, because once the sun came out, which it did, it wasn't long before the peaks turned to slush. |
