As we are coming into what seems to be the coldest winter for many years, according to the predictions, let us see the last two winters here in Crete.
Cars Washed Out To Sea
Two years ago in October we had terrific storms that often ended up as the picture above.
Snow Hits Crete
Last year we had snow, a lot of it. Many olive trees were damaged and the orange trees were hit by frost. I guess we have to wait and see what will happen this winter. Let us hope that the elements are kinder to us.

What tragedy, but these are awesome images you captured.
Here’s hoping this winter is not as severe.
All I can say – WOW! Bye and greetings from Croatia…
Wait and we’ll see on February like last year!
I wouldn’t think of Crete as a place for snow. I hope the skies are kind to you this winter. We are having a cold winter so far but we expect it.
Lots of snow eh? Wow.
mine’s up at http://www.calrat.blogspot.com
I though the weather was always beautiful in Crete. Wow! Great shots, though. Thanks.
Ray: Those are tragic photos for certain. Let’s hope your beautiful homeland will be safe.
What dramatic winters you have had here one would certainly not have expected such extremes. Hope this one is kinder.
Oh, my!! I hope this winter is kinder. We have started out bitterly cold here. I’m hoping it’s a fluke and not an omen.
OMG! but you did a good catch for skywatch…Happy weekend! Hope you can have time to visit my corner too…
I your photos are so sad. I hope your weather woll change.
Happy sky watch Friday
now i would have never imagined snow on crete…floods yes and other weather…but snow…WOW.
great post.
thanks for sharing with us.
That’s quite a contrast! I think I’d prefer the snow….as long as I have enough food and heat in the house.
Dramatic pictures! I wish you this year a better winter!
and this year, my friend, we have had an extended summer!!!!
i am dying for some rain, how about you?
I remember hearing about those storms two years ago – they happened a few weeks after our visit to Crete.
Hope this years winter is kinder
You can send the snow up north. I really want a white Christmas…
That’s a whole lot of snow! You can keep it! I like snow for Christmas, but after that it can just go away.
These are amazing scenes!
I did not know that it could snow in your beautiful island.
May this winter be a mild one!
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog!
