Not so much "wish you were here"
Feb. 17th, 2008 03:49 pmWhen I landed in Athens on Friday, I'd been under the impression that I was leaving winter, and especially snow, behind in New York.

Er ... not so much. Mount Likavitos is a blur in the background, for reference.
And they're not exactly prepared for this level of snow. Reports of other cities running out of road salt, that sort of thing.
Bad news: it's supposed to be 26 degrees tonight (Fahrenheit; my mind's still not calibrated to Celsius). Good news: after a 38-degree high tomorrow, the mercury's supposed to go into the fifties, and up to sixty on Thursday.
