Istanbul (AFP) - A heavy snowstorm paralysed life in Istanbul on Saturday, with hundreds of flights cancelled and the Bosphorus closed to shipping traffic.

Almost 65 centimetres (25 inches) of snow fell on parts of the Turkish metropolis overnight and during the day, causing havoc on roads as travellers sought to leave the city for the weekend.

WTH? We don't have that much at my house. How about some snow equality here? I feel embarrassed that we are being outsnowed by Turkey. I demand a safe space dammit.

I’m surprised they even have winter gear.

Scientist at Obama U have determined that the unusually heavy snowfall is due to global warming caused by camel farts.

If only it could snow non stop for a year or two in the middle east.

As far as I am concerned, better them than me. Dipped into the 20's overnight here in SE Louisiana and I hate it.

Here in South Jersey we have 6” on the ground with about another 3 hours of snow before it clears off the radar.
