Hailstones in Crete

   This morning hailstones bounced off car windscreens as another phase of bad weather hit the island of Crete.
   Layers of immaculate snow covered the white mountains during the night while thunder rolled and lightning crashed over the valleys.
   Huge waves rolled forward and these forced by unrelenting mighty winds lashed the ports of Chania, Rethymnon and Iraklion.
   Tourist Resorts were battered and tables and chairs which were in place following a few day of sunshine last week were carried out to sea.
   The Plateia are empty today and the windows of the Kaffenions misted over. Indoors the wood burner beckons, cold hands are warmed and homemade soup defies today's temperature of 5 degrees.
