Snow on Mt Olympus

It snowed on Mount Olympus today. At almost 3km high (2,918m) it's not unprecedented for there to be snow up there in summer, but we also had a thunderstorm last night in Athens, so there's also that. I've tried not to complain too much about the heat given what Western Europe just went through, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't enjoying this sudden drop. Whether August is around the corner [with a baseball bat](https://i.imgur.com/QPoAuQr.png), or if this summer is going to give us a break we'll have to see.
