Heavy snowfall disrupted air traffic Monday in the Greek capital of Athens and neighboring Turkey’s largest city of Istanbul, while several Aegean islands and much of Turkey were blanketed by snow.
The storm, named Elpida, or "hope" in Greece, snarled traffic in both Athens and Istanbul, a metropolis of 16 million people.
In Greece, authorities warned the public to limit outdoor movements to only essential ones on Monday and Tuesday, while schools in many areas were closed. Government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou said more than 46,000 school classes across the country were being held online. Several domestic and international flights to Athens airport were cancelled, while subway service to the airport was partially suspended as some of it runs above ground.
