Greece and Turkey that do not used to such weather look the most unusual under snow. In the Greek capital of Athens, a rare snowfall was recorded, which covered national monuments and beaches. In the north of Greece, the temperature dropped to -20.9°C.
Schools that are not adapted to work in such weather conditions are closed because of the frosts in the country. In addition, heated rooms are open in Athens, where homeless people can find shelter.
Snow created a traffic collapse in Poland, where the highway leading to Gdansk was blocked due to an accident that occurred on an icy road.

In total, in recent days, 9 people died in Austria and Germany because of the Benjamin cyclone.
The ski season is closed. For the first time in the history of the Austrian ski resort of Hochkar, it was forced to stop working due to the threat of an avalanche, and the staff and guests were immediately evacuated.
In Germany, workers had to manually clear the tracks for trains.
According to forecasters, this weather will persist until the end of the week. Moreover, the cyclone continues to move south. Snowfall covered Turkey, Lebanon and Israel. Due to snow and low visibility, Turkey closed the Bosphorus for the passage of ships.
However, the snow was not destructive for Israel. Since 2014, the country has suffered from a record drought, as a result of which the state’s water resources have been depleted, and the water intake from Lake Kinneret, Israel’s main natural reservoir, has become almost impossible. As a result of a powerful winter storm, the water level rose by 19.5 cm over the “black line”.
