I’m posting this picture for people who were surprised that it snowed in Ankara, which is located on the Anatolian Plateau and gets a fair amount of snow in winter. I can remember having to hike over the hill to work at times because no taxis were operating. Other parts of Turkey also see a lot of snow in winter, and the country hosts a number of popular ski resorts, among them one in the west near Istanbul, another in central Kayseri province and one in Erzurum in the northeast. Even Istanbul gets its share of snow – Istanbul Airport actually shut down in late January for a day or two after a heavy snowfall.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.
