December 2013 - Monday 2nd - Looks like more rainy days ahead of us for this month. With snowfalls predicted this week in the north, we're bound to feel the chill a little more. Today, it isn't so bad with some southern temps moving our clouds around, but it's about to change, so says the weather bureau.

Thursday 5th - A very chilly day yesterday and today. Yesterday, the gauge clocked a low of 3 degrees C in some areas around Ithaki. With temps like these, it won't be long before snow falls on the mountain tops on the Mainland, will be the focus of our winter views.
Yesterday afternoon, a clear day gave us a warm golden light, just before sunset, bathing us in some magnificent colours.
During this time of the year, we are more likely to see building equipment on the roads instead of people.

Friday 6th - An absolutely magical day yesterday. Blue skies all around, unfortunately, that's not the case for today. There's a black sky looming over Anoghi, moving over from the west. It's going to storm again any minute as the radical weather which hit most of Europe these past couple of days, reaches over to the Ionian.
Sunday 8th - Another great day, albeit a little chilly. It was very pleasant in the sunshine. Not much news to tell, other than it's winter on Ithaca. Quiet times.
Monday 9th - A mostly sunny day again today, but there is a big chill on the way, so says the weather bureau.
