On Friday the wind is controlling all the beaches on the island. There is no beach that hasn’t changed shape. Kastani beach.
We went again on Saturday and the beach, the sea and the clouds are totally diferent as you can expect.

At the moment the weather is much better. We have strong winds but no snow. We hope that a second day of snow will not arrive here. In the area of Agios Konstantinos on Skopelos there wasn’t electricity for about six hours but fortunately the problem was fixed. We thank the employees from the electricity company for their valuable help. We had wood ready to light the fireplace immediately after the power cut and candles and oil lamps were ready to light when needed later in the day.
In and around Athens, at the moment, there are many people on motorways trapped in their cars for at least seven hours. There are also some areas without electricity. The situation there is much worse!
More phenomenons

The winter months may be quiet on the island but there is always something moving. You just have to look for it. This is the Proteus ferryboat travelling to Mantoudi. I saw it from Stafylos beach this afternoon. An easier route getting to the island from Athens. Glad we have it back.
These two fishing boats got into each others way whilst throwing out their nets. After a discussion one boat found other fishing grounds. The boats were fishing of Milia beach yesterday.
The weather will change towards the weekend. Colder temperatures (below zero) and a possibility of snow on Saturday. We will see. This image below is from https://www.meteo.gr/cf-en.cfm?city_id=230
I am getting some extra supplies.
