Hello @Osama_El_Maghrby,

Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos with us.

I love Istanbul a lot and it's one of my all-time favorite destinations. My first visit was in December 2012 and the weather was very cold, it was freezing but no snow!

Is it something normal to snow in Istanbul? When it snows, does it stay for a long time, or it melts after a few days?

I'm sharing with you a photo, that I took two days ago of my terrasse in Sofia.

Hi @BorrisS

I am not a permanent resident of Istanbul, but at every business trip in any country in the world I return to Turkey to relax in a day or two.

But based on my experience more than once, the snow in Istanbul is gone in a few days. 

But it's still a little cold, but it's great.

I, like you, have been to Istanbul a few times @Osama_El_Maghrby and yes while I have been there in the cold, I ave never seen it snow like this. I wonder what the Blue Mosque looks like in this weather!
