This really has to be seen to be believed!
Tinos

At least 8 villages isolated – Normally sun-drenched islanders lose power and water
Heavy snowfall disabled much of the infrastructure on the Cycladic island of Tinos, prompting the General Secretariat for Civil Protection to declare a state of emergency on Thursday.
At least eight villages on Tinos were cut off Thursday as snow levels reached up to 2 meters while schools and public services remained closed. The Hellenic Navy said it would dispatch a vessel to Tinos to accommodate some of the islanders until water and electricity are restored.
The nearby island of Andros was suffering similar problems Thursday, where a state of emergency will also likely be declared.
An enduring cold snap left much of the country, including parts of Attica, Crete and many of the Cycladic islands, covered with snow Thursday.
Several parts of northern Attica remained difficult to access, including Drosia, Dionysos, Varybobi and Thrakomakedones.
Communities snowed in include Falatados, Steni, Tripopotamos, Kardiani, Ysternia, Panormos, Pyrgos and Komi.

When I first read the heading I laughed.Gallows humor I might add. Huge numbers of Greek people are now unemployed and homeless.Being homeless in the Mediterranean would not normally be as dire as in northern Europe but with the meandering Polar Vortex, all bets are off.
