The January 2022 Greek cold wave was a cold wave over Greece , named cold front 'Elpis' which means Hope and arrived on January 23,2022 and lasted through January 26.[1]

Heavy snow forced authorities to shut down roads in the northern parts of the capital including parts of main highway creating traffic chaos as commuters tryed to get to their jobs , an emergency alert had been sent to residents of Attica to warn them for bad weather conditions.[2]

Winterstorm Elpida was so intense due to the instability of the cold air passing through warm waters above Aegean that created thundersnow in Euboea and Attika region and a waterspout in Andros island which after reaching the main land it was given the name snownado .[3][4]

Even though the government was prepared and aware of the situation thousands of motorists stuck in their cars in Attiki Odos,the greek capital's main ring road for 24 hours . Civil protection gave order to the greek army to help motorists by delivering food,water and blankets .[5] [6]
