It’s Sunday, so I don’t have to go anywhere, but it feels like a snow day anyway. This is the most snow I’ve seen in Istanbul since I’ve been here (this is now my 2nd winter). When I woke up this morning, the electricity was off, but it came back on by noon. Thankfully, my heat doesn’t depend on the electricity working. Kids are playing outside, while the snow continues falling. I think tomorrow will be an official “snow day” for Istanbul schoolchildren.

But the snowfall didn’t stop for long…
