Many children and their parents flocked to the streets in Istanbul, Türkiye, to play in the snow and make snowmen after the Governor’s Office announced that education would be suspended for one day due to heavy snowfall throughout the province.

“The break is going very well. We are having snowball fights. We came to Çamlıca Hill when we heard about the snow holiday,” said 10-year-old Mehmet Fatih Kılıç.
