Intermittent Snowfall in Istanbul continues
The city of Istanbul was transformed into a winter wonderland last week as snowfall covered the streets and buildings. The snowfall started during the day and continued into the night, blanketing the high parts of the city in a beautiful layer of white.
One of the most picturesque scenes was at Üsküdar Çamlıca Hill, where the snow turned the area into a magical winter landscape. Short bursts of snowfall mixed with rain were observed throughout the city, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere.
Residents and visitors alike enjoyed the rare sight of snow in Istanbul, taking advantage of the opportunity to build snowmen and engage in snowball fights. The city’s iconic landmarks, such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, were even more stunning against the backdrop of the snow-covered landscape.
While the snowfall brought joy and excitement to many, it also caused some transportation disruptions and challenges for those navigating the slippery roads. Despite the challenges, the snowfall added a touch of beauty and magic to the bustling city of Istanbul, reminding everyone of the wonders of winter.
