A winter storm left Greece blanketed in snow overnight, cutting access to villages, disrupting travel across the country and leaving the ancient Acropolis hill covered in snowflakes. Between 10-15 centimeters (4-6 inches) of snow covered Athens, a rare occurrence in this usually mild-weathered country. Schools in the greater Greek capital area stayed closed on Monday, and Athens' subway and suburban rail line were the only public transport available in the capital.
