Meteora Rocks in snow - Prefecture of Trikala

let it snow, let it snow...

Natives are dedicated to their touristic-related tasks but at the end of the touristic season they wish for heavy snow, so they can sit back,relax and do nothing. The good Lord loves them - don't ask me why!- and usually does their favour: it snows almost every year, and this year, it did as well!

This scenery is simply majestic! The tall rocks impressively extraordinary, turn white with black scars and caves. They are extremely slippery and can test your cold blood at maneuvering your vehicle, especially if you are not equipped for snow-driving and touristic buses are following you! But since the good Lord cherishes everyone up there, he also showed mercy on us and helped us not to crash and enjoy our Christmas weekend there!
