The lake water wash onto already frozen surfaces looks correct to me. We
sometimes see ice like this here, before the lakes freeze over, of course.
I
am impressed to know that any part of Greece has cold such as this.

In that case, may I suggest a visit to http://www.e-kairos.gr/records.html
(the left column shows what most foreigners are unaware of, the record LOW
temperatures; note that Florina reached -29C reached in 1996 and that
various locations have record low temperatures in the -20s). I am trying to
keep this page up-to-date with all breaking records.
