A snowstorm brings three days of snow to Istanbul with school closing for a whole week. And then, the following week brings more snow, school is closed again for three days. More fun for the Tummons kids and our neighbors that live in the apartments above us! Our house in Karanfildere (it means "Clove River" and the river used to run where our van is parked) is blanketed in white snow!
The view from our living room window. If you look, you'll notice that we live in the bottom of a valley. (See the mosque or camii at the top)
