Troodos was hit with a 20-year record deep freeze as temperatures dropped to -12.5C on Wednesday night, according to weather station master Andreas Pringkipas.
Troodos square was buried in 60cm snowfall while the peak of Olympus hit 85cm.
In comments made to state broadcaster CyBC Pringkipas warned that ice on the roads means that travel to the area is very dangerous.
Kleanthis Nicolaides, head of the met office, said that Thursday is set for a slight increase in temperatures but that ice will form again on the mountains.
He added that Sunday’s presidential election is not expected to be impeded by any serious weather events.
