Dec 13, 2020: Patras - Winter

2 weeks ago it got cloudy, with a lot of wind from the North.
Winter has come now: Friday evening complete gray sky and it rained, not hard, but steady for 36 hours.
It is colder in the house then outside. 

Today it is dry but with a lot of clouds and wind from the east. This morning, when I got on the train to go running from the second stop, I noticed a thin layer of snow covering the top of the mountains.
