After such a cold stormy night I was not surprised to see snow lying on the hills just above us. Anyone else have such a pretty view close up and personal?

The mountains above Alsancak,Lapta,Baspina look amazing,it must be really cold up there for it to stick after all this rain.

The hail we had last night sounded like gravel being poured onto our roof up in Malatya. I think thats mostly what we are seeing on the Besparmaks.

I am in UK so couldn't believe there was snow yesterday over there , only seen & touched it in the Trodos mountains. Must be cold there then, especially at night!!

Yes very cold and that is not factoring in the wind chill factor but not so windy tday, so far.



You realise we are doing what the Brits are most famous for - talking about the weather, still no harm in it and we are being nice to each other which is lovely.
