Severe winter weather affected large parts of Turkey, bringing heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and widespread disruptions. Central, northern, eastern, and southeastern provinces experienced the harshest conditions, with snow depth exceeding 50 centimeters in some mountainous areas. Dozens of villages in provinces such as Bolu, Kastamonu, Van, Muş, Bitlis, and Hakkari were temporarily cut off as roads became impassable. Schools were closed in many provinces, while transportation, including highways and airports, faced delays and cancellations. Municipal and emergency services worked around the clock to clear roads, restore access, and assist stranded residents. Authorities urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and follow safety advisories as winter conditions were expected to continue.
